This time the focus is on the \u2019Green PE\u2019, which FKuR as the exclusive European distributor of Braskem S.A. will be presenting for the first time at the Fakuma. In addition, optimised compounds based on \u2018Green PE\u2019 for injection moulding will be presented under the brand name Terralene\u00ae.<\/b><\/p>\n
In contrast to traditional polyethylene, the polyethylene used for Braskem\u2019s Green PE is made from Brazilian sugarcane, not crude oil. By using this renewable raw material, each production of one ton of \u2018Green PE\u2019 captures up to 2.4 tons of CO2<\/sub> from the atmosphere and therefore helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, \u2018Green PE\u2019 and Terralene\u00ae are 100% compatible with regular polyethylene and show identical properties. All materials can also be utilized in existing recycling streams.<\/p>\n FKuR will also be presenting the well-established biodegradable product lines Bio-Flex\u00ae (for flexible applications) and Biograde\u00ae (for injection moulding applications). The latest innovation in the development portfolio is the cellulose-based material Biograde\u00ae C 6509 CL, which is characterised by high transparency, good colouring and excellent flexibility. In addition to the biodegradability, this type offers a very smooth and shiny surface, which is very attractive especially for cosmetic packaging.<\/p>\n About FKuR:<\/i><\/b> About Braskem:<\/b> This time the focus is on the ’Green PE’, which FKuR as the exclusive European distributor of Braskem S.A. will be presenting for the first<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","nova_meta_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572],"tags":[],"supplier":[1604,302,303],"class_list":["post-16043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","supplier-braskem","supplier-fkur-kunststoff-gmbh","supplier-fraunhofer-institut-fuer-umwelt-sicherheits-und-energietechnik-umsicht"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16043\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16043"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=16043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
