Gaialene®

Thermoplastic resins from plants. Produced from starch by an advanced grafting technology. They are GMO free, over 50% bio-based, fully recyclable and eco-friendly with a low carbon footprint. They are convenient for durable and semi-durable applications-unlike biodegradable plastics. Fixes and store carbon dioxide (CO2) coming from atmosphere. Reduce the carbon dioxide emissions and have beneficial effect on global warming. These resins are non-biodegradable, and their mechanical properties are similar to that of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Have low density, low melting temperature, a soft and warm touch similar to that of silk or leather as well as natural antistatic properties. Used in injected parts for the building and car industry, household goods, household appliances, extruded films for packaging, sport items, electronics, fabrics, furniture, blow molded flasks for cosmetics, detergents as well as the chemical industry.
