Poly Butylene Adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) Instruction:

Poly butylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) is a plastic produced from 1,4 butanediol, dimethyl terephthalate and adipic acid. PBAT is transparent, biodegradable and compostable, and can be used in extrusion and injection molding processes. Globally, PBAT has a range of applications such as laminated bags, garbage bags, mulch films, cling films, stabilizers, etc., with final use in packaging, agriculture and fisheries, consumer products, coatings and other industries.

They essentially have the same properties as conventional plastics, but offer additional benefits to some extent, such as greater flexibility and heat resistance, as well as water vapor permeability. They are biodegradable or can be recycled to generate heat or reused as materials. Poly butylene adipate-co-terephthalate is also part of the biodegradable plastics category. Moreover, growing consumer awareness about the use of this green plastic will provide new opportunities for the global PBAT market.

Poly Butylene Adipate-co-terephthalate Advantages:

The properties of PBAT can be adjusted by changing the ratio of its monomer units and by combining PBAT with other biodegradable polymers. They are typically similar to high-density or low-density polyethylene and can be used for similar applications in food packaging. In addition, PBAT is fully biodegradable (compostable) and can be processed on conventional blown film equipment used for polyethylene. PBAT has also been investigated as a toughening agent for PLA.
