General Qs
What are the biocomposites made of?
- FluidSolids® is made of residuals or waste materials from renewable resources.
Is it possible to get FluidSolids® as a semi-finished product such as sheets or pipes
- No, the material is made into a granulate and is then processed with injection molding.
How is FluidSolids® dyed to get the specified color?
- Natural and/or mineral pigments are used that are harmless for the environment.
How much does FluidSolids® cost?
- The prices are comparable to those for technical, petroleum-based plastics.
What are the main differences of FluidSolids® compared to other bio-plastics?
- The fiber-based materials do not contain any chemically modified ingredients and are 100% plastic-free.
How do I dispose of FluidSolids®?
- The material may go into your domestic compost bin or be disposed of with your household waste. We also offer the Paper Grade formulations that can be added to your waste paper recycling.
Can FluidSolids® be recycled?
- Yes, any manufacturing/production waste can be recycled without problem.
Technology
Can FluidSolids® materials replace my current plastic components?
- Yes, the materials are specifically developed to substitute conventional, fossil-based plastics, particularly in the FMCG packaging sectors.
Is it possible to reduce the weight of components with FluidSolids®?
- Yes. The excellent mechanical properties make it possible to construct thinner and thus lighter components.
How is FluidSolids® processed?
- The granulates are processed using injection molding.
Is FluidSolids® suitable as a product in contact with food?
- Yes, we offer Food Grade and Coffe Grade formulations that are certified for food contact.
Sustainability
What about the environmental impact?
- FluidSolids® is very sustainable, both in terms of carbon footprint and overall environmental impact.
How does FluidSolids® break down?
- Under aerobic conditions it breaks down completely without creating any micro plastic.
What happens if FluidSolids® ends up in the ocean?
- Within a short period of time the material dissolves into its non-toxic parts.
Does FluidSolids® compete with land for food production?
- No, the biocomposite does not consist of starch or sugar and therefore does not take up agricultural land.
