Bio-based Pofybutylene Succinate (PBS) - An attractive polymer for biopoiymer compounds

摘要

Polybutylene Succinate (PBS) is a biopolymer from poly-condensation of succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol (BDO), which provides plastics producers with an interesting building block for biopolymer compounds. Bio-based succinic acid (BBSA) is one of the most important new chemicals of the bio-based economy. It is a very versatile building block, which is expected to develop into a platform chemical with a broad range of applications, from high-value niche applications such as personal care products and food additives, to large volume applications such as bio-polyesters, poly-urethanes, resins and coatings.
