Bioplastics—do we truly understand what they are and why they're crucial for our planet's future What are bioplastics? Bioplastics are eco-friendly materials derived from renewable sources like corn, sugarcane, or crops. Also known as PLA (Polylactic Acid), these alternatives to traditional oil-based plastics offer a sustainable solution and offers a lower carbon footprint of up to 7 times compared to ABS. 🌱 Not all bioplastics are created equal. Varying grades are tailored for specific applications, ensuring compliance with safety, durability, and functionality standards. This is why Floreon was developed and is scientifically engineered for industries like automotive, toys, and electronics, We have 3 available grades for different requirements such as compostability, durability and flame retardancy. Our unique World first Floreon Therma-Tech boasts certifications for flame retardancy (UL 94V-0). All Floreon’s grades seamlessly integrate into your existing manufacturing processes, offering a simple yet impactful way to reduce your carbon footprint by up to seven times!

TECAFORM® AD EF natural #todayfortomorrow #delrin TECAFORM AD EF natural is a mass-balanced bioplastic, presenting a sustainable alternative to fossil-based POM-H (Homopolymer Acetal). This biopolymer combines a reduced carbon footprint with impressive physical properties, including outstanding sliding characteristics and excellent wear resistance, along with great strength and fatigue resistance. Furthermore, TECAFORM AD EF natural offers a slightly higher density, hardness, and strength compared to POM-C while also offering a reduction in non-renewable fossil resource usage. This bio Acetal Homopolymer excels in excellent electrical insulation properties and is easily machinable. Consequently, this biobased plastic is ideal for applications in power transmission such as gears in electronic motors, or food processing as well as a variety of other industries. As a Bio POM Homopolymer by Ensinger, TECAFORM AD EF natural is available in the form of bio POM-H plates and bio POM-H rods. TECAFORM AD EF natural is part of Ensinger's "Reuse for Tomorrow" solutions, which includes carefully developed products that contribute significantly to environmental protection through their reduced carbon footprint.

Are BIOPLASTICS better for the environment?  So, what exactly is a “Bioplastic”? Bioplastics are polymers that come from renewable sources such as corn, sugarcane or crops. Bioplastics can be used instead of oil-based plastics, helping to reduce your carbon footprint, bioplastics are better for the environment as they are not made from oil! Floreon emerged from the necessity to reduce our reliance on oil-based plastics. We developed 3 grades that offer a sustainable, high-performance alternative engineered from plant-based materials. By integrating Floreon into your manufacturing process, you can reduce your carbon footprint by up to seven times! Floreon is a unique scientifically designed solution, ideal for industries like automotive, toys, electronics, construction, medical, food and drink. Floreon Therma-Tech is certified as flame retardant (UL 94V-0), Floreon Dura-Tech is designed to be as tough and durable as ABS and Floreon Bio-Tech is certified as compostable whilst being safe food contact.
