PBAF analogs

A soft polyester family that keeps its flexibility over years of use, aimed at parts that certain polyolefins hold today.

60-100% BIOBASED R&D OPTIMISATION

The earliest material in the portfolio. Where the other three replace rigid plastics, PBAF is the soft end of the same platform: it blends with PEF and PISA, and it is built to stay flexible rather than to go brittle.

Where it goes.

Soft durablesParts where flexibility has to survive years of use.
Polyolefin replacementApplications certain polyolefins hold today, with a biobased share they cannot reach.
BlendsWith PEF and PISA, to soften an otherwise rigid polyester.

Pre-commercial, and in R&D optimisation. Any material can be made available from our own pilot plant at ~50 kg scale. Grades and specifications are developed with the application in mind, so the earliest conversations are the useful ones.
