Natur-Tec® BF3002

Name: Natur-Tec® BF3002
Brand: Natur-Tec

Natur-Tec® BF3002 is a biobased and biodegradable polymer resin compound and is designed to replace conventional plastic materials for injection molded plastic applications. Natur-Tec® BF3002 is manufactured using sustainable and renewable resources, per the ASTM D6866 standard, which allows industry and consumers the opportunity to reduce or neutralize their carbon footprint. Natur-Tec® resins are engineered for high performance and can easily be processed on conventional manufacturing equipment. Natur-Tec® BF3002 (or BF703B-X, X > 80) is designed to meet requirements of international standards for compostable plastics such as ASTM D6400 (U.S.) and EN13432. Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet and the Processing Guide for specific handling and processing instructions.Natur-Tec® BF3002 can be used for injection molded plastic applications such as making cutlery, pens, hangers, containers and packaging.
