Telles Mirel™ P1002 Bioplastic, Injection Molding Grade (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP
Material Notes:	Mirel™ P1002 is a high performance, semi-crystalline natural polyester specifically engineered for injection applications. Mirel resins are innovative and versatile suitable for a wide variety of product applications. Environmental Innovation: Environmental responsibility is a major trend among industry leading brand owners and OEMs. Mirel is a new family of biobased resin providing the industry with sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. Mirel meets the demands of environmentally-conscious companies and consumers making a positive impact on global climate change. Mirel starts with nature and ends with nature. It harmlessly biodegrades in all of these environments: Industrial and home composting Soil Municipal waste treatment facilities, septic systems Wetlands, streams, and oceans. Potential Applications: Food service ware-Single serve containers, caps, lids and trays Consumer and packaging - Cosmetic cases and lipsticks. Product Attributes Higher flow Heat resistance Medium Stiffness Easy Processing Biodegradation Certifications and Testing: Mirel resins are certified to ASTM D6400 / EN 13432 for compostable plastics, and D7081 / EN 17556 for non-floating biodegradable plastics in marine environment. Test results from ASTM D5988-96 / ISO 17556 for aerobic biodegradation in soil of plastics or residual plastics materials show that Mirel fully biodegrades - fungal/bacterial under ambient conditions. Test results from ASTM D5209 / ISO 14852 / ASTM D5271 / 14851 for aerobic biodegradation of plastic materials in an activated-sludge wastewater-treatment system show that fully biodegrades - bacterial under ambient conditions. Property data listed measured after 21 day aging. Telles is a joint venture between Metabolix and Archer Daniels Midland Company.
