Just like plastic, Vivomer is available in rigid or flexible grades and can be tailored to meet specific needs in between depending on application. To date we’ve developed drop in grades for injection moulding, extrusion blow moulding and extrusion.
Vivomer naturally has great barrier properties needing no additional coatings or barrier layers. If required for specific applications, barrier properties such as water vapor transmission rates or oxygen transfer rate can be modulated.
Vivomer is thermally stable. All of our products are tested through thermal cycles from -4C to 50C to ensure they remain stable through global shipping and storage conditions.
Want a specific colour? Vivomer is colourable and we’ve developed a range of pigments and dyes to make sure colouration doesn’t effect end of life. All our pigments vetted to be petroleum free and ethically sourced.
We’ve explored a variety of other material properties, such as toughness, co-efficient of friction, or viscosity for specific applications. We have methodologies to control crystallinity, molecular weight or melt flow to ensure we can reliably create an application best suited for your function.
