plastics - made by nature

Nature produces many materials, designs and principles that are technically unmatched. In this respect, what could be a better role model for us today than nature? Achieving nature’s ideal is the challenge we have faced at FKuR for over 20 years. In this challenge of striving for perfection, we have developed innovations in the field of bio-based and biodegradable plastics that meet the highest standards and set new benchmarks along the way. We are one of the leading suppliers of bioplastics. Our compounds are tailored products for a variety of applications and processing methods. The sense of duty we feel toward our customers and our passion for products that combine sustainability with pioneering material properties are reflected in our motto: Nature as guideline. Plastics as passion. Customers as partners.

Choose a processing method

3D Printing

High dimensional stability and flexibility with low processing temperatures in 3D printing.

Blown film extrusion

Biodegradable or bio-based for mono or multilayer films down to 8 µ thickness, tear-resistant and puncture resistant.

Extrusion blow mouldingSimple processing with Green PE and Terralene®on existing equipment.

Extrusion coatingGreen PE or Terralene® with low neck-in and good adhesion on paper.

Injection blow moulding

Our partly biobased PET is an ideal solution for the production of transparent preforms.

Injection mouldingFKuR bioplastics: good flow properties for delicate components and long flow paths with short cycle times

Lamination

Bio-based and biodegradable grades for lamination of films and paper.

Net ExtrusionFKuR bioplastics can be processed into flexible and resistant nets.

ProfilextrusionBio-Flex®, Fibrolon® and Terralene® can accurately be processed . For weatherproof, robust and attractive profiles.

Sheet extrusion

For transparent or colored sheets: rigid, tough and dimensionally stable.

Thermoforming

Clean cutting, short cycle times, amorphous and crystalline grades available
