Properties and Applications

Starch blended biodegradable polymers are special kind of polymers which break down into natural by-products such as water, biomass, gases (CO2 and N2) and inorganic salts after their intended purpose. They are produced on an industrial level by processing low-density polyethylene, starch, ethylene acrylic acid copolymer in a mixture of water and glycerine. Starch blended biodegradable polymers have well-diversified applications across various sectors. In the food industry, they are used in food packaging and edible films which are odourless, tasteless, colourless, non-toxic, and biodegradable. In the agriculture sector, they are widely used to control the release of nutrients from fertilisers into the soil, to cover greenhouses and as a mulch film to help with the fertility and health of the soil. In the medical field, they are used in the form of microsphere or hydrogel to deliver drugs.
