PBAT
Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) is a type of biodegradable and bio-based thermoplastic polymer. It is a copolyester made from the monomers 1,4-butanediol, terephthalic acid, and adipic acid. PBAT is often used as a component in biodegradable and compostable products, such as disposable tableware, shopping bags, and packaging materials. It can also be used as a component in other products, such as coatings and adhesives.
Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate (PBAT) is a biodegradable and compostable thermoplastic polymer. It is a copolymer of polybutylene adipate (PBA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
The Advantages of PBAT
Biodegradability: PBAT can be broken down by microorganisms in the environment, making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastics.
Compostability: PBAT can be broken down in industrial composting facilities, where it can be converted into nutrient-rich humus.
Flexibility: PBAT can be processed using standard thermoplastic processing methods, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Applications of PBAT
Packaging: PBAT can be used to make bags, wraps, and other packaging materials that are biodegradable and compostable.
Agriculture: PBAT can be used to make mulch films, which are laid over soil to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Textile: can be used to make synthetic fibers, non-woven fabrics, and other textile products.
PBAT is also used in various other field like automotive, Consumer goods, Agriculture.
