Imported Thermoplastic Biodegradable PBAT

Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), also known as polybutyrate, is a semi-aromatic, biodegradable thermoplastic copolyester that can be easily molded and thermoformed. It is produced by random co-polymerization of 1,4-butanediol, adipic acid, and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) monomers. PBAT has many attractive properties that are similar to Hpolyethylene. For example, it has relative high elongation at break (30 - 40%) as well as moderate high impact and puncture toughness, but only moderate tensile strength and low stiffness.
