The global transition toward plastic-free packaging has placed a spotlight on functional paper coatings. Our water-based PHA emulsions offer a high-performance, fully biodegradable alternative to traditional polyolefins.
Monomer Optimization
Engineering resilience from the molecular level to solve inherent brittleness in biopolymers.
"Our protocols prioritize PDI and MFI to ensure film maintains high elongation without pinhole defects."
PHBV Solution
Incorporating 3HV units reduces crystallinity, providing the toughness required for flexible paper packaging and broadening the processing window.
PHBH Solution
Uses 3HH units to significantly enhance impact strength and film-forming stability. The ideal choice for premium, high-performance coatings.
Achieving Stability in Aqueous Emulsions
Transforming hydrophobic PHA into a stable dispersion is our technical prerequisite for industrial application.
High-Shear Emulsification
Utilizing ultrasonic or high-shear technology to disperse PHA melts into precise micron-scale droplets.
Bio-based Surfactants
We utilize lignin sulfonates and APG to maintain 100% biodegradability throughout the life cycle.
Rheology Control
Managing viscosity to ensure uniform leveling across high-speed gravure or rod coaters.
Bio-Nanocomposites: The "1+1>2" Effect
To compete with petroleum-based plastics, we introduce reinforcement phases that create a "tortuous path" for gas and moisture.
PHA + Cellulose Nanofibrils (CNF)
Improves tensile strength and puncture resistance through a robust bio-network.
PHA + Nano-Clay
Drastically lowers the Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) by creating layered silicate barriers.
