By Manufacturing Processes
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.

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.

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.
■ PHACT™ CA8370P
Ideal for mono filament and multi filament
■ PHACT™ CA8770P
Ideal for nonwoven applications such as spun bond, staple fiber, etc.
Features
- 100% bio content
