The extensive use of petroleum-derived polymers is responsible for the increasing concern about the environmental impact of plastics, since most of them are not biodegradable. Worldwide polymer production is estimated to increase: it is considered that in 2020 each person will consume around 40 kg of plastic annually. In this scenario, bioplastics emerge as an alternative to conventional plastics and among biopolymers VIBATAN® PLA BLACK N0381) is currently considered one of the most promising biopolyester at industrial scale, due to its good balance between physicochemical properties and sustainability.

VIBATAN® PE MULTIFUNCTIONAL GREY G6771 contributes to enhance processability during extrusion and the properties in the final product. Multifunctional GREY G6771 offers many advantages, such as a valid anti-collapse action, by avoiding the collapse of foam and reducing the quantity of used gas, as it can keep gas inside the foamed product. Its improved nucleating action will be displayed in the presence of a regular closed-cell foam structure, while the particular pigment in use improves heat exchange, thus considerably increasing the insulating effect. The final color of end products will be anthracite.
