3D Printing

SKYi biopolymers have high dimensional stability and flexibility with low processing temperatures in 3D printing. Below you can see which of our bio-based and biodegradable polymers are suitable for processing into 3D printing filaments.

Blow Moulding

We offer bio-based biocompostable grades for the production of bottles and containers for sectors such as beverage, cosmetics or hygiene. Grades have higher content of natural resource material and a considerably higher tensile strength.

Film Extrusion

We offer a variety of polymers for the production of blown film. These can be biodegradable or purely bio-based. In case you prefer a biodegradable solution, we recommend the use of our Bio-Flex® resins. Films made from our new Bio-Flex® FX grade can be extruded even thinner with the same strength. For pure bio-based solutions we offer different Green PE (LLDPE, LDPE and HDPE) and various Terralene® grades. Below you can see which of our bio-based and biodegradable plastics are suitable for processing into blown film.

Extrusion Coating

There are different options to coat paper or plastics, either a bond of paper with a biodegradable resin such as e. g. Bio-Flex® or the use of a bio-based Green PE. Below you can see which of our bio-based and biodegradable plastics are suitable for processing in extrusion coating. Bio-Flex® F 2110 is similar to HDPE in terms of mechanical properties and feel. It is distinguished by a pearlescent gloss, high translucency and balanced mechanical properties of extensibility and stiffness.

Lamination

For the production of film laminates, we offer various bio-based and biodegradable solutions. In our portfolio we have bio-based polyamides as well as a partially bio-based PET for the production of barrier films. Various Green PE (LLDP, LD and HD) and Bio-Flex® grades are also available.

Sheet Extrusion

For the production of sheets we have a wide range of granulates to choose from. For applications that are biodegradable, you can rely on e. g. our Bio-Flex® grades. For purely bio-biased solutions, Green PE or a partially bio-based PET can be used. Below you can see which of our bio-based and biodegradable plastics are suitable for processing in sheet extrusion.

Profile Extrusion

For profile extrusion, you can choose from a range of bio-based and biodegradable polymers. If you want to produce a surface with a wooden look, we recommend the use of our Fibrolon® and Terralene® WF grades. You can achieve a particularly smooth surface with our Bio-Flex® grades. Here is a list of the grades which are suitable for the production of profiles.

Injection Blow Moulding

We offer you a partially bio-based PET for the production of preforms by injection blow moulding. This resin is characterized by its high transparency and can be processed like conventional PET. As a “drop-in” solution, our partially bio-based PET can be recycled together with petroleum-based PET in one material stream.

BIO BASED PLASTICS

Injection Moulding

Within our broad product portfolio, we have a variety of bio-based and biodegradable resins which are suitable for injection moulding. These range from bio-based Green PE, partially bio-based PP compounds, cellulose-based Biograde® resins, or Bio-Flex® PLA-based blends.

Thermoforming

For the thermoforming of trays or blisters e. g, we offer various highly transparent plastics. These include a partially bio-based PET as well as a biodegradable PLA. Furthermore, within our Bio-Flex® range, we offer products which are heat-resistant when processed accordingly. Below you can see which of our bio-based and biodegradable plastics are suitable for processing in cast sheet extrusion and subsequent thermoforming.
