SA916F
- Chemical Family
- Polyesters
PBST SA916F is designed to be used as a raw material for compostable compounds, especially for film applications. The use of the product as the main raw material for the resin composition allows the product to achieve a high degree of bio-based carbon content as well as high tear and puncture strength. PBST SA916F is a grade for food contact applications.
