Biopolymers like PLA, PHA, PHB and PBS have to overcome several challenges compared to conventional adhesives and plastics, such as:

• Reduced impact strength
• Reduced flexibility
• Reduced compatibility with polar fillers and other biopolymers
• Reduced performance in film sealing
• Reduced melt strength
• Reduced processability
• Noisy cracking of PLA films
• Remain transparent
• Reduced adhesion to paper
• Reduced flexibility
• Reduced compatibility with polar fillers and other biopolymers
• Reduced flexibility
• Reduced mechanical toughness
• Reduced melt strength
• Reduced crystallinity
• Film blowing with
• Reduced flexibility
• Reduced compatibility with polar fillers and other biopolymers
• Reduced processability in extrusion and thermoforming
• Reduction in hardness or modulus

How to solve these problems

We experienced it is very hard to overcome problems related in the usage of biopolymers. Therefor, often additives are needed hat are not biodegradeable, and/or biobased. We can offer
