Our Products
Bubble Film Extrusion
For the production of bags and shoppers, IMB has formulated the Biofilm 4025C and Biofilm 2020LC compounds, both well-regarded in the market for their ease of processing and high mechanical characteristics. Among the materials for extrusion, we also offer transparent bioplastics optimized for single-layer extrusion lines, including Biofilm 3005LR, Biofilm 3055LR,Biofilm 1310 AM, and Biofilm 3085 LR. These are suitable for flexible packaging, flow-pack films, and vacuum packaging.
Injection Molding
Injection molding is a manufacturing process for creating complex and precise parts. IMBio 70A and IMBio 72M(S) materials are well-suited for this technique due to their high thermal resistance (HDT exceeding 95°C). This feature makes them ideal for injection molding applications in sectors where the thermal properties of materials are crucial for component performance.
Thermoforming
IMB offers the thermoplastic material IMBio 72M, featuring a high Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) exceeding 95°C. This material is well-suited for high-temperature thermoforming applications and is advantageous as it does not require modifications to existing molds, simplifying the production process. Ideal for sectors such as agriculture, foodservice, and packaging.
