About PHA’s: are a family of biobased and biodegradable polyesters made by bacterial fermentation. PHACT biopolymers were chosen for this project are plant-based and feature a sustainable manufacturing process. Alone or when blended with other polymers, they dramatically improve environmental characteristics while enhancing physical properties in a broad range of consumer applications. This material is considered to be thermally stable in the normal and customary processing range of 185- 200 Cº. Extended polymer and concentrate residence time in the process equipment may require that process temperature profiles be reviewed and/or adjusted to ensure a proper and suitable product.
