BioPBS™ FD72PM/PB

1 of 9 products in this brand
BioPBS™ FD72PM/PB is a bio-based polybutylene succinate (PBS) produced through the polymerization of bio-based succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol. Similar to LDPE, BioPBS™ is a soft and flexible semi-crystalline polyester with excellent properties that make it suitable for injection molding articles for general purposes. As an essentially bio-based product, it excels in biodegradability and compostability, offering a convenient drop-in solution to achieve better sustainability goals.

Polymer Name: Polybutylene Succinate Adipate (PBSA)

Labeling Claims: Biodegradable

Storage & Handling

Storage Condition

BioPBS™ pellet is dried and packed in aluminum-lined packaging before delivering to customers. Do not store outdoors. Keep dry at ambient temperature. Avoid humid environment, heat and direct sunlight. Use material within 6 months after delivery date, in order to prevent possible material quality deterioration. Pre-dry of the unopened BioPBS™ is not necessary. It is recommended to keep packages sealed until ready to process and using up the whole 25-kg bag. Unused material should be tightly sealed, kept away from open air, and pre-dried (Temperature 70°C for over 5 hours) to moisture content of less than 1,000 ppm (preferable less than 700 ppm) prior to using next time.
