Is your product or application ready for the biomaterial transition?
Technology Platforms & Products
With our five Technology Platforms — FortePlastics, TriggerPlastics, RubberPlastics, RePlastics and LowEnergyPlastics — we create customised, biobased and/or biodegradable materials for many industries, such as apparel, agriculture and horticulture, consumer goods, construction, packaging, …
The Biopolymers that come from these technologies — like our FORTAN®, FORTAMID®, HUMICUR®, RUBRAN® and others — offer the same useful properties as traditional plastics, but in a sustainable way.
FortePlastics
BIOBASED AND BIODEGRADABLE POLYAMIDES
The strongest material in the world that is still degradable in natural habitats.
Adding non-persistence to conventional polyamides.
FOR EFFICIENT PRODUCTION ON INJECTION MOLDING OR EXTRUSION LINES
FORTAN®
- Up to 56% biobased content.
- Carbon footprint savings: up to 45%.
- Tensile strength reaching 250 MPa.
- Degradability steerable between 12–240 months.
- High to extreme durability.
FORTAMID®
- Up to 20% biobased content.
- Carbon footprint savings: up to 15%.
- Tensile strength reaching 250 MPa.
- Degradability steerable between 6–120 months.
- High to extreme durability.
TriggerPlastics
Ultra-controlled and predictable biodegradability in your application and habitat of choice.
FOR EFFICIENT PRODUCTION ON INJECTION MOLDING OR EXTRUSION LINES
HUMICUR®
- Up to 60% biobased content; further in development to 100%.
- Soil, water, industrial compostable.
COMPOST3D® 2
COMPOST3D® 2 will lead the 3D printing world to a higher ecological dimension. The filament is mainly made from natural raw materials and is 100% compostable. The first plastic product ever that you can predict and track in its composting speed on your smartphone.
