applications but are not compostable. Hromatka Group’s Guzman Polymers was appointed distributor for Woodly in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Turkey last year.
Performance PAs Bio-based compounds are not just restricted to PLA and PHA — a number of performance polyamides are also either fully or partly bio-based. Turkish com- pounder Eurotec’s Tecomid BIO line of part of fully bio-based engineering compounds are based on polyamides such as PA5.6, PA5.10, PA11, PA6.10, PA10.10 and PA10.12. Developed as replacements for PA6 and PA66 in automotive and white goods applications, the company says bio-based content depends on the matrix material and rein- forcement type. Examples include
Tecomid BIO NI40 CR30 BK111 HS, which is a PA6.10 reinforced with 30% recycled carbon fibre formulated for automotive applications, and Tecomid BIO NR30 NL CA, an unfilled and heat stabilised PA11 offering high dimensional stability, low moisture absorption and low density. The company has also developed part bio-based grades offering the high hydrolysis required for connectors and housings used in electric vehicle cooling systems. These include Tecomid BIO NQ40 GR30 NL HS 30% glass fibre reinforced PA5.10 and Tecomid BIO NI40 GR30 NL HS 30% glass fibre rein- forced PA6.10.

Tecobio is a fully biode-
gradable product line based on PLA, PBS, TPS and PBAT blends with natural or synthetic additives and reinforcements. Tecobio PL30 WR30 NL is a 30% wood filled PLA designed for use in pens, toothbrush- es and cutlery. Tecobio PL40 MF25 NL 01 is a 25% mineral filled PLA/PBS blend that devel- oped for cutlery requiring
higher heat resistance, according to the company.
