The plant biomaterial plastic(PBM-P) is a compound of natural plant-based polymer and the PLA like resins,the polymer itself is a mixture of starch,fiber powder,plant glue and plant oil,with special improvement process.The PBM-P appears to be sand or granulated particles,characterizing exactly the same as regular thermalplastic.PBM-P formulation technology and processing are listed into China patents for invention£¨Patent#£ºZL00114396.4£»ZL00114397.2£©

 Properties

      Excellent thermal plasticity,compatibility and possibility.
      High impact toughness,strength and flexibility.
      Minimal forming shrinkage,no distortion of shape in particular for large size works .
      Originated from mother nature biomass,no hazardous substance.
      Commercial products can be disposed freely,degradable in garbage landfills and or composts .
      Higher performance price ratio than PLA degradable resins with its excellent overall performances and lower costs

 Applications

      PBM-P products can be used to replace the regular plastic for injection,in particular suitable for making of kitchenwares,drinkwares,hotel disposable items, seedling containers,flower pots and types of FMCG packaging

 Usage

    For injection use,cautions are below£»

Caution

Parameter

Injection volume(workpiece and runner)

40-80% of the machine¡¯s maximum injection volume

Clamping force

400~700kg/cm2

Melt Temperature

140~190¡É for the fully degradable PBM-P

160-210¡É for the degradable PBM-P

Injection pressure

The first injection is set 60~85%

backpressure

Appropriate backpressure helps plastisizing and air-out, 5~10kg/cm2 Is recommended

Workpiece cooling

Blowing or natural cooling,no water.

Cleaning machine

The most effective cleaners are PBM-P like polmers,such as PE,PP.Prior to maching,use PE as cleaner,at stop use PP,PE and PS.

Use of scraps

Clean and fully dry scraps can be almost 100%,a ratio of 10-30% is recommended


 Shelf Life

    Two years in airtight storage
