| BIOGRADE® are easy to process blends based on cellulose. BIOGRADE® is composed mainly of natural resources. Based on cellulose, a product of the paper industry BIOGRADE® has been especially designed for injection molding applications. BIOGRADE® is mainly composed of natural resource materials (European Soft Wood from sustainable forestry) and does not contain starch or starch derivatives. Furthermore BIOGRADE® has the following advantages: high content of natural resource materials excellent heat resistance - up to 115 °C injection mouldable on conventional injection moulding equipment processable with multi-cavity moulds flat sheet / film suitable for thermoforming on conventional deep drawing machinery properties comparable to polystyrene: rigid and transparent depending on grade. Food contact approved Biodegradability certified by independent organisations.BIOGRADE® C 6509 CL is a further development of the grade BIOGRADE® C 7500. Besides its excellent transparency, BIOGRADE® C 6509 CL has an extended flowability making it especially suitable for thin walled parts and long flow paths. Its flexibility and mechanical properties are better than general purpose PS in many respects. Furthermore, it consists to a large degree of natural resources. With a Vicat A temperature of 100 °C it has an excellent heat resistance for bioplastics.Information Provided by FKuR Kunststoff GmbH |
