Cereplast has unveiled Hybrid Resins with low carbon footprint. The Biopropylene PP-based resin product offering has been extended by adding Hybrid 102D and 105D, which are the two recent grades of bioplastic resin.
The company is expecting to make these new grades of resins available in the European and the US markets during the first half of this year.
Petroleum of up to 50% in the normal plastics is replaced by these new hybrid resins. These hybrid resins are good for furniture, interior automotive components and consumer products. Hybrid 102D and Hybrid 105D resin grades can be utilized for injection molding, which is the process of molding the material in various shapes.
Hybrid 105D, Hybrid 102D and Hybrid 101, and polypropylene with starch are included in the Biopropylene PP-based resin. PP properties such as mold flow, mold shrinkage, performance of hinge, resistant to chemicals, heat deflection temperature and surface appearance are maintained in these resins. Hybrid 102D formulation provides high content of starch than Hybrid 101. Hybrid 105D is a high grade for injection molding used in very thin wall applications.
Cereplast’s CEO and Chairman, Frederic Scheer, stated that these Hybrid Resins offer a green solution for companies in order to cut down ecological impact. The R&D team of the company has responded to the customers’ needs for the hybrid resins with high starch content.
