| 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. Stakes and pegs 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&& |
