Overview
The Forbio product range is based on degradable biopolymers such as PLA, PBS, PBAT, and CAPA. Some of them are filled with various bio-based fillers.
The Forbio Rec product range is based on recycled PLA. If, for example, no proof of conformity is required, the products can be used to manufacture similar high-quality products. Some of them are filled with various bio-based fillers.
The Forligno bio product range is based on bio-based polyolefins. The products are not biodegradable. They are filled with cellulose-based fillers such as wood flour or raw cellulose.
A few selected examples:
Forbio
The Forbio series consists of virgin material.
Forbio CA 66344
The Forbio CA 6634 compound is based on polycaprolactone (PCL) and is a biodegradable plastic derived from petroleum. It is filled with 35% talc.
CA B6634 can be colored very easily.
Application: Injection molding
