INJECTION MOULDED ARTICLES

A revolutionary product, a traditional technique.
Mater-Bi® can be moulded using normal injection presses, with cold runners or hot chamber injection systems. The maximum injection temperature is less than 200°C. About 10% of the scraps can be reused in injection moulding, which is similar to traditional plastic products. Mater-Bi® can be coloured using the Mater-Bi®-based, biodegradable Master Batches, which are available from Clariant and other manufacturers.

With an innovative injection moulding process, sticks of biodegradable starch can be produced, that are water-soluble, easily disposed of in the drain system, without any difficulty for the water collection and purification systems.

Mater-Bi® cutlery is injection moulded, using a starch-based material obtained from cellulose.

With Mater-Bi®, you can injection mould a variety of objects, such as pencil sharpeners, rulers, cartridges, toys, plant pots, and bones and other objects for pets to chew and to play with.

Combs made of Mater-Bi® have the additional advantage of being anti-static, eliminating inconveniences due to the accumulation of electrical charge on conventional combs.
