...ates that are partially based on renewable raw materials. Reports exist about transparent PC types based on isosorbide, which can be extracted e.g. from corn starch (type: Planext, manufacturer: Teijin; type: Durabio, manufacturer: Mitsubishi Chemical). The benefits of Planext are claimed to be improved heat and impact resistance, plus high flame and high flame resistance. Moreover, compared with PC based on bisphenol A, the surface hardness, chemical resistance and light transmission properties...

...CA/USA, in order to expand the portfolio of monomers available for PA production (Table 1).Other Bio-Based PlasticsCustomer demand for sustainable high-performance plastics is fuelling development. The crystal clear, scratch-resistant "Durabio" synthetic material won the "Bioplastics Award" last year. This bio-based polycarbonate (PC) based on isosorbite is manufactured by a consortium consisting of the companies Roquette Frères, Lestrem, France, Mitsubishi Chemicals Corporation, Tokyo, Japan, a...

...re toughness, available in transparent, opaque, and flame-retardant versions, are offered as well. PC types based on the renewable raw material isosorbide are finding initial applications. The transparent material Durabio from Mitsubishi Chemical for instance is being used in the touch displays of smart phones. In addition to its partially "renewable" origins, this thermoplastic material is sufficiently resistant to impacts, heat, and weather. Teijin is also offering an isosorbide-based PC mater...
