CAPA® thermoplastics are aliphatic polyesters which combine biodegradability and hot melt adhesive characteristics. They can be converted using conventional thermoplastic processing equipment into cast film. Typical applications for CAPA® cast films are:
- Biodegradable packaging
- Agricultural films
- Laminating adhesives & coatings for paper and plastics
- Biodegradable disposables
The benefits provided by CAPA® polymers are:
- Fully biodegradable.
- Non-toxic.
- Low melting point.
- Rigid crystalline polymer.
- Low Tg (-60oC) and good low temperature properties.
- High elongation.
- Weldable.
- Thermoplastic.
- Polyester allows ease of printing.
- No drying required before melting/processing.
- Hot melt adhesive.
- Sheets or films of varying thicknesses can be produced.
