Bio Materials

Poly Glycolic Acid (PGA) is a biodegradable plastic that has excellent 

gas barrier properties and mechanical properties. In addition to materials for 

suturing, shale oil and gas extraction, its application is expanding to 

food packaging films that require barrier properties.

Advanced Materials & Chemicals Co., Ltd. is supplying PGA to the Korean market 

in collaboration with world-class suppliers. It has soil, ocean, and home 

biodegradation certification and is complete with food contact-related approval.

Thermo Plastic Starch (TPS) is made from corn, potatoes, etc. 

and is a biodegradable plastic.

It has a competitive price and excellent biodegradability compared to 

other biodegradable plastics. It is compounded with PBAT and PLA 

according to the needs of users and is used in various applications.

Advanced Materials & Chemicals Co., Ltd. is supplying the excellent 

quality TPS at a competitive price.

Polyhydroxy Alkanoate (PHA) is a bio-based biodegradable plastic made by microbial fermentation. 

It has excellent physical properties and biodegradability in soil, ocean, and home, providing 

a sustainable alternative to solving environmental pollution problems caused by existing non-degradable 

plastics.

Advanced Materials & Chemicals Co., Ltd. is providing all kinds of PHA products 

such as PHBH, P34HB, PHBV, and PHB in collaboration with industry-leading PHA manufacturers.

Polybutylene succinate (PBS) is a biodegradable plastic that decomposes into water 

and carbon dioxide with the microorganism under the soil. PBS has excellent processability 

and high heat resistance among the general biodegradability resin. 

It is compounded with PBAT and PLA to meet the needs of users and is used in

various applications such as injection, fiber, and film.

Advanced Materials & Chemicals Co., Ltd. is supplying selected high-quality PBS 

at a competitive price.

■ Key properties of PBS by product code

■ Tested and certified by recognized and independent test institutes

Poly butylene Adipate Terephthalate (PBAT) is a biodegradable, 

aliphatic-aromatic copolyester based on the monomers 1.4-butanediol, adipic acid 

and terephthalic acid in the polymer chain. It has excellent biodegradability, 

flexibility and processability.

 
PBAT is flexible enough to have an elongation of 600%, so it can be used in 

various application such as disposable bags, shopping bags, and agricultural films.

Advanced Materials & Chemicals is supplying the highest quality PBAT 

at a competitive price.

■ Tested and certified by recognized and independent test institutes

Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and compostable thermoplastic derived from renewable 

plant sources, such as starch and sugar. Its demand is increasing worldwide due to its wide range of 

applications and excellent competitiveness of price due to its similar physical properties 

to petroleum-based plastics.

BBCA Biochemical is a joint venture between the BBCA, a Chinese biochemical and pharmaceutical 

conglomerate, and Futerro, an affiliate of Belgium's Galactic.

It has a production capacity of 640,000 tons of Lactic Acid and 400,000 tons of PLA, and uses 

the world's best PLA production facilities, technology and know-how to supply PLA around the world 

for extrusion, injection, and textile industries.

BBCA's PLA is supplied to the Korean market through Advanced Materials & Chemicals, 

an official agency and an distribution channel.

■ Key properties of BBCA's PLA by product code

■ Tested and certified by recognized and independent test institutes

■ CO2 Emissions Comparison: Petroleum-based non-degradable plastics VS BBCA's PLA

    ▶ The measurement of CO2 emissions during the entire process of BBCA’s PLA 1kg production 

        through the Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) resulted in 0.622kg of CO2 that was reduced by 

        up to 87% compared to petroleum-based non-degradable plastics.
