Thermoplastic Starch (TPS)

TPS

Thermoplastic starch is also known as "no structure starch", through certain methods to make the starch structure disorder, so that it has thermoplastic. With plastic starch materials to plant starch and cellulose and other natural polymer materials as the main raw materials, the resources can be renewable, can save a lot of petroleum resources.

Product Functional Category and Applications

 Use: it can be mixed with different resin materials, suitable for blowing film, injection molding, extrusion, plastic absorption and other processes.

Usage: Thermoplastic starch particles can be directly mixed with PLA, PBAT, PE, PP and other materials, and the added ratio can float in 20-40%, reduce the processing process, simplify the cattle production formula, reduce the cost, and can meet the biodegradable and composting requirements of products.

superiority:

(1) Greatly reduce the cost of degradable materials. Starch and starch mixed plastics have been on the market for many years and are commonly known as hot starch (TPS) and TPS substances. However, these TPS plastic products are expensive to produce, and the quality is not at the level needed for high-quality film, and can not be used for plastic bag production. Innovative plasticizing process, so that the product can be very integrated with the main resin.

(2) TPS + PBAT to achieve the cost reduction of PABT

(3) PLA + TPS to achieve PLA low-cost plastic meal box

(4) PE + TPS realizes the low-cost foaming of traditional materials

Frequently Asked Questions

!What is thermoplastic starch (TPS), and how does it differ from ordinary starch?

"TPS is a "full-starch plastic" whose starch structure has been disordered by a plasticizing process to gain thermoplastic processability. Unlike ordinary starch, it can be blown, injection-molded and extruded like plastic, and is made mainly from renewable plant starch, compostable and petroleum-saving.


!How is TPS used, and what can it be blended with?

"TPS granules can be blended directly with PLA, PBAT, PE and PP, typically at 20-40% (0-40% as needed). TPS+PBAT reduces PBAT cost, PLA+TPS makes low-cost lunch boxes, and PE+TPS enables low-cost foaming — cutting steps, simplifying formulas and lowering cost.


!Can products still meet degradation/composting requirements after adding TPS?

"When blended with biodegradable resins such as PLA or PBAT, products can meet biodegradation and composting requirements. When blended with PE or PP, TPS mainly reduces cost and adds bio-content rather than making the product fully biodegradable. The result depends on the formulation and certification.


!What information should I provide to get a TPS quotation?

"Please provide the base resin (PLA/PBAT/PE/PP, etc.), target product and process, desired loading ratio, purchase quantity, degradation certification requirements, packaging requirement, destination, and whether COA, MSDS or samples are needed, so Bio-CORNIGS can match the grade and quote accurately.


!Can CORNIGS provide COA and MSDS?

CORNIGS can provide COA, MSDS, specifications, packaging information and storage conditions according to the specific product and batch, helping customers complete purchasing, quality review and supplier evaluation.


!What information should I provide before requesting a quotation?

To receive an accurate quotation, please provide the product name, required specification, estimated quantity, application field, packaging requirement, delivery destination and whether technical documents are needed.


!Can I request a sample before bulk purchase?

Sample or small trial quantity requests can be discussed according to product type and stock availability. Customers are advised to share the testing purpose and target application so that a suitable product can be recommended.


!What packaging and storage options are available?

Packaging and storage conditions vary by product specification. In general, products should be stored in sealed packaging and protected from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Please confirm detailed requirements before ordering.


!How can I get technical support or purchase advice?
