PBSA Copolymer Grade H — Polybutylene Succinate Adipate, Copolymer Grade H
PBSA Copolymer Grade H incorporates adipate units into the succinate backbone, resulting in a more flexible and tougher material than pure PBS. This enhanced ductility improves impact resistance and allows for easier processing in applications requiring resilience, such as flexible packaging or agricultural films.
