Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-F

Generic Family: Thermoplastic Starch + PESupplied by: Cardia Bioplastics™
Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-F masterbatch is a homogenous blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) with polyethylene (PE). This blendable grade is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, outstanding elongation properties and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is a renewable material. This TPS/PE masterbatch can be blended with a wide range of polyolefin materials to tailor a product with properties perfectly matched to the application.
  • A Biohybrid resin for film applications offering a significant reduction in carbon footprint (compared to PE)
  • An effective contribution to sustainability where biodegradability/compostability is not required.
  • Blendable with LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE and PP resins.
  • Used for thin and thick gauge film and blow moulding applications.

Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-F is formulated with 66% of annually renewable starch. This versatile resin is suitable for a wide range of products manufactured by blown film extrusion and extrusion blow molding as well as injection molding processes. Due its content of polyolefins the material is not a compostable polymer and is not intended for ultimate disposal in commercial composting facilities. For applications in which biodegradability/compostability is required we recommend the usage of Cardia Compostable B-F resin.
