BiomeHT

The BiomeHT range is a new class of bioplastic with a higher temperature capability whilst retaining great environmental credentials.

With a softening point of greater than 90°C, in both dry and aqueous conditions, this is some 20-30°C above many other competitive bioplastics.  Mechanical properties are also improved, resulting in stiff and strong mouldings, similar if not better than our own Biome Bioplast GS 2189, which in its own right out-performs other bioplastics.

BiomeHT grades are made from between 80-95% renewable resources, depending on grade, giving good sustainability as well as end of life credentials.

Potential application areas include cutlery and plates for hot food applications; sheet and thermoformed products for cups and lids; casing for electronics that have exposure to heat and some automotive component applications.

The BiomeHT range of high temperature bioplastics has been tested in injection mouldings and sheet/thermoforming applications.

BiomeHT 90 is the first product available in this range.
