Flushable Hygiene Material Compound (PLA/PBAT)

About This Product

A melt-compounded blend of polylactic acid and polybutylene adipate terephthalate, supplied as a pellet compound for extrusion and forming into webs and hygiene components. Blend ratio and draw-down in processing govern how the finished structure holds together when wet; neither polyester is water soluble, and both break down by hydrolysis. Products marketed as flushable have a poor record: many pass the toilet and then accumulate in the sewer network. The material property that matters is dispersion in water under agitation, not simply whether it clears the pan. Clearing the pan needs only that the article move with the flush; dispersion requires the wet strength of the structure to collapse under shear, so the web breaks into short fragments that pass pumps and screens rather than binding with fats and other debris into a mass. This compound is formulated for dispersion. Web structure, bonding and any binder influence the outcome as much as the resin does: any flushability claim must be substantiated against the relevant standard for the finished article and the market it is sold in, not inferred from the resin. Supplied as a raw material for processing on the buyer's own line. We do not produce finished articles. It is used in flushable hygiene articles, sanitary products and dispersible nonwovens. Bio Green Chem supplies this flushable hygiene material compound to specification on polymer base, pellet form, processing route and the dispersion behaviour your finished article must meet.
