Contact SupplierPoly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), PBAT, is a synthetic and 100% biodegradable polymer based on fossil resources.PBAT is made from renewable resources such as sugar cane and corn starch and is a copolymer of polybutylene adipate and terephthalic acid.Being biodegradable, PBAT polymers are suitable for use in active food packaging. The properties of PBAT-based films can be modified by incorporating other polymers and bioactive compounds. Functional packaging materials based on PBAT can improve packaged foods' quality and shelf life.PBAT is flexible and tough, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as food packaging, agriculture films, and biodegradable shopping bags.PBAT is hydrophobic and its water absorption is negligible.
