Results of the joint with the Fraunhofer Umsicht research activities are above all new specialties based on PLA and pulp. In addition to the applications already known as the agricultural film and film for hygienic applications is possible to produce film for packaging of frozen products and various applications multilayer made of Bio-Flex.
New features will also be presented in the range of mixtures based on acetate of cellulose for molding by injection at the K 2010. With the line of products Biograde already tabled new standards in the area of bioplastics. Due to excellent temperatures of heat resistance up to 115 ° C was possible applications in the field of electronics and domestic appliances made from bioplastics.
FKuR Kunststoff GmbH produces and distributes specialties of biopolymers tailored based on polylactic acid / copoliéster (Bio-Flex), ester of cellulose (Biograde) and WPC / composed of plastic - wood (Fibrolon). FKuR is the producer specializing in technical bioplastics. The close cooperation with the Institute Fraunhofer Umsicht ensures 'know-how' and quality standards.
