Regular plastics offer strength and flexibility, but at the expense of our environment. Today, customers want something better.
Minima has exclusive compounding capabilities to create biodegradable resin blends. Minima resins and compounds have good mechanical and physical properties, excellent superior processability, yet are completely biodegradable in commercial compost facilities.
Minima’s polymer scientists have developed a unique polymer cross-linking method that allows compostable source materials to bond into resin. For example, our signature line of resins (GP Series) combines polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from natural plant sources, with other biodegradable polymers like PBS and PBAT to create a strong yet flexible resins. The result: superior bio-based products for film extrusion, sheet extrusion, foam sheet, injection molding, and blow molding.
Compostable Blow Molding Resins
Our blow molding resins are composed of biodegradable PBAT, PLA and PBS, all certified by three independent agencies to be completely biodegradable in industrial composting environments.
Compostable Film Extrusion Resins
Our certified compostable film resins are designed for most blown film extruders and conventional converting/bag making equipment.
Compostable Injection Molding Resins
- Natural Transparent color which can be blended with a variety of pigments.
- Opaque color which can be blended with a variety of pigments.
- Superior strength and resilience to other bio-based straws
Compostable Resins for Sheet Extrusion
Our certified biodegradable resins and compounds are ideal for sheet extrusion applications including thermoformed food and deli containers.
Compostable Resins for Foam Sheet
Our certified compostable foam sheet is naturally anti-static, water soluble and compostable for low environmental impact.
Compostable Resins for Extrusion Coatings
Certified compostable resins for extrusion coating applications such as paper and paperboard (for grease-resistant sandwich wraps paper plates and food containers), and moisture-resistant adhesive coatings for compostable hot cups.
Compostable Resins for Straws
- Color transparente natural que se puede mezclar con una variedad de pigmentos.
- Color opaco que se puede mezclar con una variedad de pigmentos.
- Resistencia y durabilidad superiores a las de otras pajitas de origen biológico.
