Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate (PBAT) is a green eco-friendly biodegradable random copolymer biobased polymer that is both flexible and tough,when buried in real soil environments, it breaks down completely and leaves no toxic residues behind. This makes it an ideal blending resin for other biodegradable polymers that are strong but brittle. PBAT is a good alternative material to use in place of conventional low-density polyethylene that is made from oil or natural gas. PBAT is a biobased polymer that is made from fossil resources. The largest application for PBAT is flexible film that is used to make products like food packaging, industrial packaging, pet waste bags, shopping bags, cling wrap, lawn leaf and garbage bags. The material is well suited for sheet extrusion, vacuum forming, blow molding and extrusion film applications.
