High focus on biobased polymers
Norner takes a role in our sustainable future by extending capability and competence in biopolymers.
Our high focus brings substantial value and increased speed to customer’s bioplastics projects.
Norner offer
- Hands on experience with biopolymers from development, processing and testing.
- In depth technology and market studies on BIO materials for international FMCG companies.
- Scientists with direct experience in biopolymers.
- A technology center where the various aspects of a polymer can be tested like: polymer, characterisation, compounding, processing, performance testing on standard specimens or on our s packaging prototypes.
- Broad industrial expertise in plastics from polymer properties to application performance.
Client studies and research programmes
- Norner performs strategic technical studies of the suitability of bio sources for polymers.
- Norner evaluates bio-polymerisation in a cost/complexity/benefit scenario.
- Bio polymers as neat solutions or as composites are studied versus end applications.
- Conversion to end products and documentation of end use performance of biopolymer.
- Development of new and enhanced properties and applications for biopolymers.
Examples of our biopolymer work
- Catalytic polymerisation, modification, processing and testing of polymers from CO2.
- Processing and testing of commercially available bioplastics like starch based, PLA and PHA types in film and moulding lines.
- Patent and literature surveys on the converting of various raw materials to bioplastics.
- Chemical modifications of starch to make it plastic.
