Biobased PVC compounds - A sustainable future for the vinyls industry

10/16

actiplast

Actiplast is developing PVC formulations with bio-based ingredients which meet clients’ requirements, such as for injection and extrusion moulders.  Actiplast sees a future where bio-based PVC will become the standard formulation, improving the image of the vinyl industry. One advantage: you don’t need coupling agents for natural fillers in PVC unlike polyolefins. One challenge: producers of vegetal fillers such as wood, hemp and flax fibers, have limited understanding of the plastics industry. Another challenge: reducing production costs.
