December 16, 2022 - It is formulated with up to 35 percent biobased content. This bioplastic can also be left to biodegrade in a home composting environment. Terratek Flex GDH-B1 is a starch-based elastomer that is strong, durable and pliable with an exquisite soft touch.

October 16, 2024 - These are generally synthesized by the incorporation of starch with other biodegradable polymers for enhancing their mechanical properties as well as process ability. Starch based elastomers are more prized for their biodegradability as they can be composed and made from renewable resources. Other kinds of bioplastic elastomers are starch-based elastomers.

January 10, 2023 - GDH-B1 is not just “greener,” it’s better. The material is durable, strong, and pliable. The bioplastic’s characteristics provide excellent performance in fabrication. It has a lower melt temperature compared to petroleum-based elastomers, reducing energy cost and shortening production cycle times.

Bio-based elastomers are thermoplastics produced from renewable biomass. The bio-based content can result from raw materials such as polymers, fillers, plasticizers or additives that have been produced from renewable feedstocks.

October 23, 2020 - BioBest bioresin is BioPlastic Solutions patented, bio-based and sustainably sourced durable material.

March 28, 2021 - It also increased moisture content due to its nature, which is more hydrophilic than cassava starch. The result showed that the tensile strength of bioplastic ranged from 0.81-1.33 MPa and elongated from 31-35%. In addition, the thermal analysis data showed that the glass transition temperature shifted marginally due to intermolecular activity.

A biopolymer is a macromolecule that is composed of biobased or “natural” building blocks. Plastics can be thermoplastics (the largest group), elastomers, or thermosets, and bioplastics can fall into any of these groups.

They are ideal for single-use disposable products. These materials may be rigid or pliable and can be customized to desired physical properties. Elastomers Strong and durable, yet flexible, Terratek Flex is the market’s first bioplastic elastomer verified to meet both U.S.

October 22, 2020 - A sustainable multifunctional biobased composite with 61% renewable resource content exhibiting superior toughness was successfully engineered using polylactide (PLA) and organosolv lignin (OL). Reactive extrusion of PLA with OL in presence of poly (vinyl acetate), PVAc and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) improved interfacial adhesion in resulting a novel biobased elastomer.

April 21, 2022 - Dryflex Green is a family of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds containing raw materials from renewable resources such as plant and vegetable crops. The series consists of various types of bioplastic, with amounts of renewable content to over 90% (ASTM D 6866) with hardnesses from 20 Shore A to 50 Shore D.

June 16, 2021 - Is a Romanian company located in Târgoviște grounded in developing eco-bioplastics solutions with a wide range of applications, from shoe soles and boots to packaging solutions. Thanks to their partnership with Valaia University of Târgoviște, they blended business and research in order to develop biodegradable thermoplastic elastomers that biodegrade in a much shorter amount of time compared to conventional plastics.

January 12, 2024 - [90] use a bicyclic diol 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose D-xylose derived from the biomass and a mixture with ω-unsaturated fatty acids and alcohols, originating a promising bioplastic for sustainable packaging applications. The authors employed an acyclic diene metathesis polymerization and found a decrease in the glass transition temperatures when increasing the chain length of the additives. Moreover, after being cast into films, the elastomers displayed remarkable polyethylene-like properties with high Young modulus and elongation at break, solid yet flexible behavior, and excellent gas barrier properties, proving their uses as food packaging materials.

November 10, 2023 - For the first time, a soft plastic has been introduced that is safe, biodegradable and sustainable. A small Kansas-based start-up company called Green Dot, which styles itself as a "biotechnology social enterprise that makes the world's only plant-based, compostable elastomer, verified to meet U.S.

reSound™ BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers Bio-Based TPEs reSound™ BIO thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are biopolymer formulations derived from plant-based raw materials. The reSound BIO portfolio consists of grades compatible with overmolding onto PP and ABS.

January 9, 2024 - EcoLattice is a sustainable and innovative option for the automotive Industry. It utilises recycled Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) based on natural rubber to create lightweight and shock-absorbent cellular cushions.

September 10, 2024 - While a large number of chemically recyclable thermoplastics have been developed in recent years, technologically bio-based and fully recyclable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) with excellent mechanical properties are lacking. Here the authors demonstrate an all δvalerolactone-based polyester tri-BCP TPEs, which exhibit not only closed-loop chemical recyclability but also exceptional toughness.

Terraprene® is a product family of high-quality thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds with variable proportions of renewable raw materials.

April 16, 2025 - Biobased Elastomers are a range of flexible thermoplastic elastomers, produced from annually renewable biomass such as sugars or vegetable oils. This range includes materials such as BioTPU and BioTPE for applications such as sports and leisure ...
