Solution for Film
CJ Biomaterial offers 5 compound grades which are compounded resins based on PLA (polylactic acid) and aPHA (PHACT™ A1000P) for Film applications. These grades are environmentally friendly semi-crystalline biopolymer compounds that improve functional performance and enable faster composting relative to PLA. The films made of PHACT compounds have superior sealability, flexibility, and less noise compared to PLA-only films. Final products made of PHACT compounds have faster rates of biodegradability than PLA-only films.
■ PHACT™ CA1270P
Designed for blown and cast film, may also be used in biaxially-oriented film
■ PHACT™ CA1240PF
An opaque film designed foe blown and cast film, may also be used in biaxially-oriented film
■ PHACT™ CA8270P-B1
Designed for biaxially-oriented film
*Currently available only for APAC Region
Features
- 100% bio content
- FDA approved for food contact
- Accelerates PLA degradation
- Colorable and printable
- Enhanced properties relative to PLA:
- Increased flexibility and softness
- Less noisy
- Enhanced oil and water resistance
Solution for Thermoforming
CJ Biomaterials offers 3 compound grades that are compounded resins based on PLA (polylactic acid) and aPHA (PHACT™ A1000P) for thermoforming process. These grades are environmentally friendly semi-crystalline biopolymer compounds that improve functional performance and enable faster composting relative to PLA. The addition of aPHA to PLA increases flexibility and impact strength, limiting breakage during production and distribution. These blends can also improve productivity during the thermoforming process. These compounds can reduce the thickness of final products by 12-15% compared to PLA, resulting in cost savings.
■ PHACT™ CA1680P
Suitable for semi-transparent applications
*Currently available only for APAC Region
■ PHACT™ CA1690P
The most transparent aPHA content than other grades
*Currently available only for APAC Region
Features:
- 100% bio content
- FDA-approved for food contact
- Industrial compostable
- High stability during distribution and storage
- Relative to PLA:
- Increased flexibility and impact strength
- Improved processability and productivity
- Reduction of the total input
Solution for Injection molding
CJ Biomaterial offer 2 compound grades which are compounded resins based on PLA (polylactic acid) and aPHA (PHACT™ A1000P) for Injection molding applications. These grades are environmentally friendly semi-crystalline biopolymer compounds that improve functional performance and enable faster composting relative to PLA. The addition of aPHA to PLA increases flexibility and impact strength and enhances water/oil resistance. These compounds also improve process ability during injection molding, allowing greater design flexibility. The mold shrinkage of these grades is similar to that of ABS, thus the existing molds for ABS can be used.

Solution for Fibers and Nonwovens
CJ Biomaterial offer 2 compound grades which are compounded resins based on PLA (polylactic acid) and aPHA (PHACT™ A1000P) for Fiber and Nonwoven applications. These grades can be used for a broad range of fiber, textile and nonwoven applications. Both grades are suitable for conventional fiber spinning and drawing processes. Fibers made with PHACT grades have excellent texture and softness compared to PLA alone. Converters can produce fibers at lower temperatures than PLA, enhancing processability and reducing costs. Final products made from our grades have better biodegradability relative to PLA fibers.
