Performance Additives

Metabolix is developing biopolymers as performance additives. Metabolix biopolymer resins are miscible with a broad range of biobased and petroleum-based materials and can improve a range of performance attributes such as impact strength, heat resistance, barrier properties, processability and plasticization.
Polymeric modifiers for PVC. In PVC, a compounded product is typically formulated with about 20-40% performance additives used to improve the processability and performance of PVC products. Metabolix is developing biobased, polymeric modifiers for semi-rigid and flexible PVC compounds. We have shown that our polymeric modifiers can provide a step change in impact modification, plasticization and process modification when added to PVC. We have shown that our bioplastic polymeric modifiers have the potential to improve PVC impact resistance beyond that achievable with leading polymeric modifiers and at the same time serve as a non-migrating, non-phthalate plasticizer.Metabolix is developing biopolymers as performance additives.
