Cereplast Launches First Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Starch Hybrid Resins


Cereplast, Inc. (Nasdaq:CERP), a leading manufacturer of proprietary biobased, sustainable bioplastics, today announced the launch of Hybrid 111D and Hybrid 112D, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) starch hybrid compounds for injection molding applications. Hybrid 111D boasts 30% starch and Hybrid 112D has 50% starch, which lowers the environmental impact of the material compared to conventional TPE. Both grades are soft and pliable, offering stretch with some recovery for soft grip applications such as handles for bicycles and tools, cosmetics packaging, housewares, household appliances, footwear and automotive applications.

"We are enthusiastic about the addition of TPE starch blends to the Cereplast Hybrid Resins family, as we continue to expand our line of bioplastic resins to provide low carbon footprint products to the marketplace," said Cereplast CEO and Chairman Mr. Frederic Scheer. "In the next few months we will also introduce polyethylene hybrids, which will round out our product offering, furthering our leadership role for hybrid resins in the bioplastics industry and meeting the demands of our customers for the properties and pricing that they desire."
