SA916F

Polymer Name:Polyester (unspecified)
Labeling Claims:Food Contact Acceptable, Biodegradable, Bio-based
Processing Methods:Film Extrusion, Blown Film Extrusion, Extrusion, Cast Film Extrusion
Density:1260.0 - 1260.0 kg/m³

PBST SA916F is designed to be used as a raw material for compostable compounds, especially for film applications. The use of the product as the main raw material for the resin composition allows the product to achieve a high degree of bio-based carbon content as well as high tear and puncture strength. PBST SA916F is a grade for food contact applications.

SA916N

Polymer Name:Polyester (unspecified)
Labeling Claims:Biodegradable, Bio-based
Processing Methods:Film Extrusion, Blown Film Extrusion, Extrusion, Cast Film Extrusion
Density:1260.0 - 1260.0 kg/m³

PBST SA916N is designed to be used as a raw material for compostable compounds, especially for film applications. The use of the product as the main raw material for the resin composition allows the product to achieve a high degree of bio-based carbon content as well as high tear and puncture strength. PBST SA916N is for non-food contact applications.
