Estructuras multicapa biodegradables: una oportunidad para el sector del plásticoBiodegradable multilayered structures: an opportunity for the sector of the plastic
25 January 2013
The next day 7 March will celebrate the day organised by Aimplas ‘Multilayered Structures in Biodegradable Materials' in the installations of the Institute in the Technological Park of Valencia.
The biodegradable plastic materials have turned into an alternative to the traditional materials in diverse applications. In the last years the bioplásticos have entered with strength in distinct markets, especially in the alimentary container, because of the increasing demand of sustainable solutions in this sector.
By his part, with the multilayered structures, through the combination of distinct materials attains obtain a final product with better properties increasing the field of application of these materials.
This day supposes an opportunity to know the possibilities of the biodegradable plastic materials in multilayered structures for different applications. During the same will expose the main lines of investigation in this field and will present commercial degrees of these materials for multilayered applications.
The day will have the participation of important companies linked to the production and transformation of plastics (BASF, Mitsubishi Chemical, Comexi, Innovia Films, Huhtamaki, Natureworks and API) as well as of expert technicians of Aimplas that have llevar successfully diverse projects of R&D in this field.
In the pilot plant of Aimplas will realise a demonstration to exemplify the appearances analysed during the presentations.
