    The Plexiglas Rnew biobased resins are designed to be lower carbon-footprint solutions.

    The Plexiglas Rnew biobased resins are designed to be lower carbon-footprint solutions. The compounds stem from the synergistic effect of compounding two completely miscible polymers, Plexiglas and Ingeo biopolymer. The resultant alloys feature lower processing temperatures, greater melt-flow properties, and reduced carbon footprint. The alloys don’t compromise optics, scratch resistance, color acceptance, and surface aesthetics.
