Biostrength® 200 and 150 Impact Modifier
Biostrength® 200 and Biostrength® 150 are core-shell impact modifiers for polyactic acid (PLA). Biostrength® 200 is designed for use in clear applications, while Biostrength® 150 is a higher efficiency modifier for use in opaque applications.

Biostrength® 700 Melt Strength Enhancer
Biostrength® 700 is an acrylic copolymer that significantly enhances the melt strength of PLA, enabling improved processability in foaming; biaxilly oriented and blown films; melt blown and extruded fiber; and the extrusion and thermoforming of thinned walled sheet.

Biostrength® 900 Metal Release Agent

Biostrength® 900 is an acrylic copolymer that acts as a metal release agent in PLA, reducing sticking time on processing equipment and improving the flow characteristics of PLA in injection molding applications.  Below is an example of our Biostrength® 900.
