BioMat is 25% hemp fibres reinforced poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) compound (100% biobased) and is designed for interior automotive structural parts by injection process.
It represents a breakthrough to go with 100% petro free plastics in automotive.
Drivers
Uniqueness | Unique solution on the market |
Sustainability | 100% bio-based material fibers and bio matrix |
Environment | 100% renewable materials (substitute petrol plastics by biomass material) |
Economics | Competitive price: allowing reduction of oil price dependency |
Users benefits
- 100% bio-based materials (bio matrix PBS and hemp fibres)
- Positive impact on Life Cycle Assessment -> CO² balance improvement
- Competitive price: allowing reduction of oil price dependency
- Processable with traditional injection machines
Value chain
While NAFILean represents an intermediate step toward a complete bio-based material, BioMat is ready to roll out an injection material with a 100 percent bio-based material (natural fibers and bio-based matrix), eliminating oil-based materials.
