Product Description
Cereplast Hybrid Resins® are bio-based compounds containing a significant amount of renewable, ecologically sound sources such as starches from corn, tapioca, wheat and potatoes. Combined with a lower petroleum-based plastic content and renewable resources content, Cereplast Hybrid Resins® offer a significant carbon footprint reduction in the final product.

Hybrid 101 is based on a high quality Polypropylene compounded on state-of-the-art mixing equipments using a proprietary formulation. Hybrid 101 offers a unique combination of mechanical properties, ease of processing, high aesthetic surface. Hybrid 101 has been designed to have an excellent balance between impact strength, rigidity and processability.

Hybrid 101 can be processed on existing conventional electric and hydraulic reciprocating screw injection molding machines. Please see our processing guide for guidelines.
