Biodegradable Polymers: TPS+PE

Product Availability Product Description
Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-F Africa & Middle East
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. Application Examples - Shopping bags/Check-out bags - Garbage bags - Leaf litter bags - Bin liners - Overwrap Packaging - Disposable or industrial bottles
Cardia Biohybrid™ H-F Africa & Middle East
Cardia Biohybrid ™ H-F is a based on a blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) with Polyethylene. This grade of resin is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, elongation properties and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is a renewable material. - 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. - Designed for thin and thick gauge film applications. Cardia Biohybrid™ H-F is formulated with 50% of annually renewable thermoplastic starch polymer. This resin is suitable for a range of products manufactured by blown film extrusion and extrusion blow molding as well as injection molding processes. Due its high content of polyolefins the material is not a fully biodegradable polymer and is not intended for ultimate disposal in commercial composting facilities. For applications in which compostability is required we recommend the usage of Cardia Compostable B-F resin. Application Examples - Shopping bags/Check-out bags - Garbage bags - Leaf litter bags - Bin liners - Overwrap Packaging
Cardia Biohybrid™ H-M01 Africa & Middle East
Cardia Biohybrid™ H-M01 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 impact resistance and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is a renewable material. - A biohybrid resin offering a significant reduction in carbon footprint (compared to polyolefins PE/PP) - An effective contribution to sustainability where biodegradability/compostability is not required - Designed for thin and thick gauge rigid moulding and extrusion applications. Cardia Biohybrid™ H-M01 is formulated with 50% of renewable thermoplastic starch polymer. This resin is suitable for a wide range of products manufactured by injection moulding or extrusion processes. Due to its content of polypropylene the material is not a fully biodegradable polymer and it is not intended for ultimate disposal in commercial composting facilities. If biodegradability or compostability is required, use of Cardia Compostable B-M or TBM resin is recommended. Application Examples - Injection moulded products such as cutlery, toothbrushes, combs, shavers, golf-tees, etc. - Stakes and pegs - Horticultural products such as flower pots and stakes - Injection moulded containers, caps and closures - Disposable plates and produce trays
