Spectabio L grades are developed for rigid injection molded applications with a moderate to thick wallthickness. Spectabio LB30MB is reinforced with up to 30 w.-% bamboo or other natural fibers. Parts molded with Spectabio L grades have a sturdy look & feel. The compound is biodegradable in controlled conditions.

• injection molding grade

• biopolymer compound

• can be blended with bamboo powder (B), rice husk (R), coffee husk (C), wheat straw (W) and wood powder (H)

• high rigidity

• can be crystallized/annealed to be heatstable up to 80°C

• biodegradable in controlled conditions (e.g. industrial compost) according to DIN EN 13432 / ASTM D6400

• food contact safe

Spectabio LB30MB is a modified PLA-blend. The grade is significantly enhanced with a blend of natural fibers. Spectabio LB30MB is suitable for a post-process annealing.

Spectabio LB30MB is compostable/biodegradable (microbial and enzymatic degradation) in the targeted disposal environment; the grade is designed to be biodegradable in controlled (e.g. industrial compost facilities). Spectabio LB grades offer a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional fossil-based plastics.

The grades exhibit good strength and stiffness properties as well as a medium flow combined with improved elongation values. An increased rate of crystallization allows an annealing to a heat-stable temperature of up to 80 °C (HDT-B).

Part wall-thickness shall be greater than 2.5 mm.
