Arkema
Limiting pollution of air and water
Arkema developed Biostrength® additives, a family of impact modifiers specially designed to enhance the mechanical properties of PLA.
Thanks to these additives, PLA can now be used in a great number of applications: transparent or opaque thermoformed packaging, bottle blow molding, injection molding for complex parts, etc.

Biostrength® sustainable modifiers are outstanding impact and processing modifiers designed to improve the performance of biopolymers, such as polylatic acid (PLA).
Biostrength® additives are used to strengthen performance and processability in packaging, thermoformed sheets, and injection molding applications.
