PBAT was developed to solve environmental pollution caused by conventional plastics, it is and extremely biodegradable material even degrade faster than PLA.
PBAT is often used in bags to add flexibility, fast biodegradability, and works to speed up the rate of compostability to comply with compost regulations.
Product Description
Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) is a type of biodegradable and bio-based thermoplastic polymer. It is a copolyester made from the monomers 1,4-butanediol, terephthalic acid, and adipic acid. PBAT is often used as a component in biodegradable and compostable products, such as disposable tableware, shopping bags, and packaging materials. It can also be used as a component in other products, such as coatings and adhesives.
Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate (PBAT) is a biodegradable and compostable thermoplastic polymer. It is a copolymer of polybutylene adipate (PBA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Biodegradability: PBAT is designed to break down naturally over time, unlike traditional plastic materials that can take hundreds of years to decompose. This makes it a more environmentally-friendly option, as it reduces the amount of plastic waste in landfills and the ocean.
Compostability: PBAT can be composted in industrial composting facilities, which can turn it into compost that can be used as a soil amendment. This is a great benefit for agriculture, as it reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and other chemical treatments.
Versatility: PBAT can be used in a wide range of applications, from food packaging to disposable cutlery, to agricultural mulch film. It is a versatile material that can be tailored to fit different needs and industries.
Cost-effective: PBAT is relatively cost-effective to produce, and can be made from renewable resources such as corn, potato, or sugar cane starch. This makes it a more sustainable and economically viable option compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Non-toxic: PBAT is non-toxic and safe for use in food packaging applications. It does not release harmful chemicals or leach toxins into the environment, making it a safer option for human health and the environment.
Packaging: PBAT can be used to make bags, wraps, and other packaging materials that are biodegradable and compostable.
Agriculture: PBAT can be used to make mulch films, which are laid over soil to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Textile: can be used to make synthetic fibers, non-woven fabrics, and other textile products.
PBAT is also used in various other field like automotive, Consumer goods, Agriculture.
Product Parameter
PBAT is often used in bags to add flexibility, fast biodegradability, and works to speed up the rate of compostability to comply with compost regulations. It is a necessary ingredient in the product. Additionally, it is quite safe for the environment because it does not leave behind any harmful toxic residue.
PBAT is a polymer that breaks down completely when home-composted leaving no toxic residues behind. This makes it an excellent alternative to toxic or harmful materials like plastic and other non-biodegradable plastics.
