Cardia Biohybrid H-M01 Cardia Bioplastics Thermoplastic Starch + PE

Product Description

Cardia Biohybrid™ H-M01 is based on a blend of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and polyolefin's. This grade of resin is compatibilised to offer a high level of mechanical strength, good impact resistance and toughness. The resin is based on corn starch which is a renewable material.

A biohybrid resin offering a significant reduction in carbon footprint (compared to polyolefins PE/PP)

An effective contribution to sustainability where biodegradability/compostability is not required

Designed for thin and thick gauge rigid moulding and extrusion applications.

Cardia Biohybrid™ H-M01 is formulated with 50% of renewable thermoplastic starch polymer. This resin is suitable for a wide range of products manufactured by injection moulding or extrusion processes. Due to its content of polypropylene the material is not a fully biodegradable polymer and it is not intended for ultimate disposal in commercial composting facilities. If biodegradability or compostability is required, use of Cardia Compostable B-M or TBM resin is recommended.
