...90 % in compost after 12 weeks. Bio-Flex 219F is registered as a degradable material with DIN Certco (7W0042), while Bio-Flex films are certified as biodegradable (7P0073). The material is also certified for food contact applications. Biograde 200C Cellulose Blend Another biodegradable plastic is the transparent Biograde 200C. The particular advantage of this cellulose-based product is its unproblematical processing on conventional flat film units. Complicated modifications to screws, dies or ...

...ing to DIN54900-1/-2. Articles with a wall thickness of up to 110µm consigned to compost are 90% degraded after 14 weeks have elapsed. Certification for use with food has also been obtained. Injection-moulding Grade: High Thermal Stability Biograde300A was developed for the manufacture of injection moulded parts. This material formulation is noted for its very good ease of processing and considerable mechanical properties. It represents a good compromise between the opposing demands of ready b...

...oplastic with processing and application properties comparable to those of PE-HD. Thanks to its harmonic combination of strength and elasticity, this material is especially suitable for deep-freeze packaging. Biograde, the cellulose ester-based product family by FKuR, should be seen especially in relation with injection molded parts. Biotec introduced its five main products under the brand name Bioplast. Unfortunately, no one present – even on different fair days – could provide information on s...

...otto “Plastics – naturally!”, the company can draw from a wide spectrum of bioplastics: In addition to Fibrolon, a natural fiber-reinforced PLA compound and its cellulose based Biograde, FKuR presented Bio-Flex F 2201 CL, a new PLAbased transparent and flexible bioplastic. Besides high stretchability, this material is especially characterized by high puncture resistance. By combining it together with 4100 CL Bio-Flex type A, degradable multi-layer films with excellent transparence are produced t...

Computer manufacturer Fujitsu is now utilizing combinations of wood materials, such as arboform, and bioplastics, such as biograde, to market computer mice (Title photo) made from renewable raw materials. Other (Bio?)Plastics: The assignment of polymer material types to the concept of bioplastics has not yet been clarified univocally, for which reason they are interpreted differently. Hybrid bio(plastics) are mixtures of starch and polyolefins with a ...

... (vertical form fill and seal) (Title photo). Similar combinations of other Bio-Flex types also make it possible to produce multi-layer tubes or thermoformed packaging. For injection molded thin-walled articles with long flow paths, Biograde C 6509 CL, a bio-based compound based on cellulose acetate, is especially suitable. The resulting product is transparent with a smooth, glossy surface. In particular, if used for thin-walled components, this grade is superior to standard polystyrene (PS) in ...

... to invest in this market. For example, FKuR Kunststoff GmbH, Willich, Germany, offers a selection of bioplastics for cosmetic packaging. This includes the bio-based polyethylene from Braskem, and its proprietary brands Bio-Flex and Biograde. The natural base material of Bio-Flex is corn, sugar cane or castor oil. Biograde is manufactured from cellulose (Fig. 5). Both products are biodegradable.The production of cosmetic packaging from natural raw materials is one way of returning products to bi...
