Applications & Uses
VINNEX® Additives are homo-, co- or terpolymers of vinyl acetate. The system makes materials such as starch, polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polybutylene succinate (PBS) and cellulose acetates (CA) compatible with one another. This allows the formulator to adjust the physical properties precisely according to requirements.
Depending on the amount and type of VINNEX® added, the polymer blends have higher impact strengths and better melt stability or are more flexible than the pure biopolymers.
The blends are just as biobased and/or biodegradable as pure biopolymers.
Most VINNEX® grades are suitable for use in food-contact applications.
With VINNEX®, biopolymers can be processed just like standard thermoplastics. VINNEX® makes injection molding, extrusion, vacuum forming, thermoforming and calendering much easier.
VINNEX® makes biopolymers more suitable - or even feasible at all - for many applications and processing technologies.
Typical applications include:
