Results for tag: "Extrusion Coating"

Extrusion coating is a process used to apply a thin layer of bioplastic to a substrate material. This process is used to create a protective barrier, improve the appearance of the substrate, or add a functional layer. Bioplastics are a type of plastic derived from renewable resources, such as corn, sugarcane, and vegetable oils. They are biodegradable and compostable, making them a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. Extrusion coating is used in a variety of industries, including food packaging, medical products, and consumer goods. It is a cost-effective way to add a layer of bioplastic to a substrate, and can be used to create a range of products, from single-use packaging to durable medical devices. Companies in the extrusion coating market include BASF, Dow, and Eastman Chemical. These companies produce a range of bioplastics for extrusion coating, including polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and polybutylene succinate (PBS). Show Less Read more
