Abstract:

In the recent years, bio-based and biodegradable products have raised great interest because sustainable development policies tend to expand with the growing concern for the environment and the use of non-renewable resources. Arctic Biomaterials LTD (ABM) is a company producing bio-based and/or biodegradable compound and composite solutions for demanding technical and medical applications. Our in-depth and specific biopolymer knowledge is offered to our customers to develop biomaterials to meet their needs. The bioerodible glass fiber reinforced materials produced with ABM???s own technology, enables fulfilling customer needs in high demanding technical and medical applications, offer a sustainable alternative to several oilbased technical plastics. The composite materials are produced on our long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (LFT) line. This proprietary bioerodible long glass fiber compounding technology increases the ABM composite materials heat resistance and mechanical properties to new levels and opens a variety of possible application areas in fields where durable technical plastics are being used. Along with the sustainable aspects, processability and physicomechanical properties ABM also produces the aforementioned materials with additional specific high-value functionalities, e.g. antistatic, flame resistance, antimicrobial and colored products.
