Another advantageous property of PPC-TPU film is<br />
its relatively high barrier performance to O 2<br />
and water<br />
vapour compared to other bioplastics.<br />
By blending with other biodegradable plastics such as<br />
PBS, PLA etc. PPC-TPU may improve the tear resistance<br />
of the compound. Jiangsu Jinlong-CAS successfully<br />
converted such blends into film that can be used for<br />
degradable mulch, shopping bags and waste bags, etc.<br />
Other compounds<br />
Jiangsu Jinlong-CAS is also cooperating with a partner<br />
to develop other new compound materials made with<br />
PBS, PLA, natural fibres (such as rice husk, plant straw )<br />
and inorganic ingredients. By now they have successfully<br />
developed new heat resistance blended materials (up<br />
to 100°C). These materials can be used for the positive<br />
pressure and vacuum assisted thermoforming processes<br />
and for injection moulding. The main fields of application<br />
are food packaging and industrial packaging.<br />

Application examples<br />
Myriant produces high performance, bio-based<br />
chemicals using renewable feedstocks that are<br />
not derived from food sources. Our commercial<br />
Succinic Acid plant starts up in 2012 and will be<br />
the world’s first of its kind and scale. We have<br />
proven economics that allow us to offer Succinic<br />
Acid with no green price premium.<br />
