FKuR Kunststoff Biograde® C 6530 Biodegradable Plastic Compound  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Thermoplastic; Wood and Natural Products

Material Notes: 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 6530 is a consitent further development of BIOGRADE® C 9550. BIOGRADE® C 6530 is especially suitable for the production of injection moulded rigid parts and those with thin walls and long flow paths. This optimization are possible through the appropriate and unique combination of additives and natural fillers. Thereby it features similar characteristics as BIOGRADE® C 9550.
