Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-M is based on a blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and polyolefin's. This grade of resin is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, good elongation properties and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is an annually renewable material.
- A hybrid masterbatch with high content of renewable resources in Polypropylene (PP) for moulding rigid products.
- For applications where the use of renewable resources or sustainability are desired and Biodegradability is not required.
- Can be used by blending Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-M masterbatch with PP in injection moulding and extrusion applications.
Cardia Biohybrid™ BL-M is formulated with 66% of annually renewable starch. This versatile material is suitable for a wide range of products manufactured by injection molding, extrusion or blow molding processes. Due its content of polyolefins the material is not a fully biodegradable polymer and is not intended for ultimate disposal in commercial composting facilities. For applications in which biodegradability/compostability is required we recommend the usage of Cardia Compostable B-M or T-BM resin.
Application Examples
- Injection moulded products such as cutlery, toothbrushes, combs, shavers, golf-tees, etc.
- Horticultural products such as flower pots, planters and stakes
- Injection moulded caps and closures
- Sheet extruded products such food trays, tubs, disposable plates, strapping and labels
- Blow moulded bottles and toys
- Profile extruded products such as candy sticks and disposable drinking straws
