Bioplastics producer FKuR Kunststoff will present a completely transparent injection mouldable grade of reinforced compound at Fakuma 2011 at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Centre, Germany, between 18-22nd October.
“Biograde V 2091 is our latest development of the cellulose acetate based Biograde products. Within the packaging sector it allows for the realisation of diverse applications and could be a bioplastics alternative for standard polystyrene (PS),” Denise Winkelmann, responsible for market development, told Packaging Today.
With its high transparency comes a smooth and shiny surface.
In thin walled parts, it out performs standard polystyrene (PS) in terms of flexibility and heat distortion temperature, claims FKuR.
