Bio-based plastics

Bio-based plastics are plastics made in whole
or partially from biological resources. More

 

Biodegradable Plastics

Biodegradable plastics are plastics degraded
by microorganisms into water, carbon dioxide
(or methane) and biomass under specified
conditions.  Biodegradability is an intrinsic property
of the material, independent of its origin.
Biodegradable plastics can be from fossil
or renewable resources. More

Engineering

plastics

are used in applications generally requiring
higher performance in the areas of heat resistance,
chemical resistance, impact, fire retardancy or
mechanical strength. More

Elastomers

are a category of pliable plastic
material that are good at insulating,
withstanding deformation, and molding
into different shapes. More

Epoxy Resins

a family of synthetic resins, their physical
state can be anything from a low viscosity
liquid to a high melting point solid.  More

Expandable
polystyrene (EPS)

a thermoplastic product that is lightweight,
strong, and offers excellent thermal insulation,
making it ideal for the packaging and
construction industries. More

Fluoropolymers

are a family of high-performance plastics.
The best known member of this family
is called PTFE. PTFE is one of the smoothest
materials around, and very tough! More

Polyolefins (PO)

is the collective description for plastics
types that include polyethylene - low density
polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene
(LLDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) -
and polypropylene (PP). More

Polyethylene
Terephthalate (PET)

is one of the most commonly used plastics
in Europe’s packaging industry for several
reasons.

Polystyrene (PS)

a thermoplastic polymer which softens when
heated and can be converted into semi-finished
products like films and sheets, as well as a
wide range of finished articles. More

Polyurethane (PUR)

is a resilient, flexible and durable
manufactured material. More

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

is durable and light, strong, fire resistant,
with excellent insulating properties and
low permeability.  More

Thermoplastics

is a type of plastic made from polymer resins
that becomes a homogenized liquid when heated
and hard when cooled. These characteristics,
which lend the material its name, are reversible.
That is, it can be reheated, reshaped, and frozen
repeatedly. More

Thermosets

or thermosetting, plastics are synthetic
materials that strengthen during being
heated, but cannot be successfully
remolded or reheated after their initial
heat-forming.  More
