Cardia Biohybrid™ H-FM

Generic Family: Thermoplastic Starch + PP • Supplied by: Cardia Bioplastics™
Cardia Biohybrid™ H-FM is based on a blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and polyolefin's. This grade of resin is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, good elongation properties and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is a renewable material.
  • A Biohybrid resin for foaming applications where biodegradability is not required.
  • For use in applications where the use of renewable resources are desired.
  • Can be used with chemical and physical blowing agents

Cardia Biohybrid™ H-FM is formulated with 50% of renewable thermoplastic starch polymer. This resin is suitable for a range of products manufactured by foam extrusion. Due to its high content of polyolefins the material is not a fully biodegradable polymer and is not intended for ultimate disposal in commercial composting facilities.

Applications
  • Extrusion foaming of packaging shapes
  • Extrusion foaming of sheet for packaging and cushioning
  • Extruded boards for packaging and insulation applications
