PHACT™ CB0400A by CJ Cheiljedang Bio is a combination of semi-crystalline and amorphous polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). It is a 100% bio-based, eco-friendly grade produced by microbial fermentation of sugar. It is designed for injection molding, extrusion (drinking straws) and sheet/thermoforming applications.

• It reduces brittleness and offers high impact resistance and durability.
• It is a safe and non-toxic material that enhances low-temperature resistance.
• PHACT™ CB0400A is used in manufacturing opaque straws (with extended end-of-life certifications).
• It is home and industrial compostable, soil and marine biodegradable.
• It is US FDA, USDA, BPI, and TUV certified.

PHACT™ A1000P by CJ Cheiljedang Bio is an amorphous polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). It is a transparent, 100% bio-based, ecofriendly grade produced by microbial fermentation of sugar. It is certified biodegradable under industrial compost, soil (ambient), and marine environments. It is a softer, more rubbery version of PHA that offers fundamentally different performance characteristics than the crystalline or semi-crystalline forms.

• It offers flexibility, toughness and low thermal resistance.
• It is suitable for processing by injection molding, blown film- & sheet extrusion.
• It will be used as a modifier to other compostable polymers and biopolymers to improve functional and processing characteristics, and for enabling these products to achieve faster rates of biodegradation or composting.
• PHACT™ A1000P is used in flexible & rigid packaging, paper coating, mulching film & pesticide coating in agriculture, fishing nets, polymer modification and 3D printing filament applications.
