Compostable and Heat Resistant Injection Moulding Material Made from Cellulose

摘要

Willich, Germany - The Biograde 300A injection moulding material developed by FKuR Kunststoff GmbH, in co-operation with Fraunhofer Institut UMSICHT, Oberhausen, is now also certified as a compostable material according to DIN EN 13 432 and DIN Certco. FKuR Kunststoff GmbH has been developing and producing biologically degradable plastics out of renewable materials. The company has so far offered two different product groups to the market: Biograde grades for injection moulding and Bio-Flex grades for film applications. Biograde Compounds are innovative Cellulose blends. An excellent compromise has been reached with these blends between the conflicting requirements of compostability on one hand and high heat distortion temperature on the other.
