Polybutylene adipate
terephthalate (PBAT) is a biodegradable polyester that has gained attention in
recent years due to its eco-friendly properties. PBAT has a wide range of
applications across various industries, primarily because it is biodegradable
and compostable. Some of the key applications of PBAT include:
Packaging
Materials:
Food
packaging: PBAT can be used to make biodegradable films, bags, and
containers for packaging food products. It provides a sustainable
alternative to traditional plastic packaging.
Soil
erosion control: PBAT-based erosion control mats and blankets help
prevent soil erosion while degrading naturally over time.
3D
Printing Filaments:
PBAT
can be used as a material for 3D printing filaments, allowing for the
creation of biodegradable 3D-printed objects.
Medical
and Pharmaceutical Packaging:
PBAT-based
materials can be used for blister packaging and other medical and
pharmaceutical applications where the biodegradability and compostability
of the packaging are desirable.
Biodegradable
Films for Textiles:
PBAT-based
films can be used in the textile industry to create biodegradable and
compostable clothing and accessories.
