PycnoPlast - Additives for Fine-Tuning Polymer Biodegradability
The speed of degradation of biodegradable polymers depends on many factors like product thickness, surface area and degrading circumstances. Specific resins and additives can either increase this speed or decrease. Pycnoplast has the knowledge and experience in using such additives and can offer you a tailor made solution for your specific requirements.
“Speed up or slow down the bio-degradation: we can do it!”.
“Challenge us with your requirements!”
Often a first trial with a basic polymer resins leads to disappointment. But do not stop there! This is exactly where Pycnoplast offers added value for you. It is in our nature to make it work by turning a resin into a smart compound recipe or develop a masterbatch type of add-on.
At Pycnoplast we have a broad experience in several specific solutions. We can modify resins to achieve certain functionalities for proper processing (for example flow stimulation) or to meet your application requirements (for example heat stability or stiffness).
By application of different monomers or additives, selective addition of natural fillers PycnoPlast can develop more accessible biopolymers with performance that could match or even exceed that of the most widely used commodity plastics.
