Biopolymers are increasingly adopted across packaging, automotive, consumer goods, and industrial applications, but real-world performance often differs from laboratory expectations. This advanced training focuses on the practical formulation and processing realities of bio-based and biodegradable polymers, including PLA, PHA, PBS, starch blends, and bio-polyolefins. Participants will learn how molecular structure, crystallization behavior, thermal sensitivity, and moisture interactions affect mechanical performance, dimensional stability, and long-term durability. The session examines processing limits such as thermal degradation, narrow melt windows, hydrolysis risk, and shear sensitivity, along with strategies to manage these constraints during extrusion, compounding, and molding. Special attention is given to performance trade-offs between sustainability, cost, processability, and reliability, including the role of plasticizers, nucleating agents, impact modifiers, and compatibilizers. Real industrial failure patterns are analyzed to explain why many biopolymer projects struggle during scale-up or field use. This training helps formulators move beyond sustainability claims and develop biopolymer systems that meet real manufacturing, performance, and economic requirements.


Why you should not miss this training?

Attending the training on biopolymers offers formulators valuable insights into production techniques, processes and;.

1. Understand where biopolymers fail in real production: Learn why thermal instability, moisture sensitivity, and narrow processing windows cause scale-up failures.

2. Balance sustainability targets with mechanical performance reality: Identify trade-offs between stiffness, toughness, heat resistance, and long-term durability.

3. Prevent degradation during extrusion, compounding, and molding: Control hydrolysis, molecular weight loss, and viscosity drift under industrial conditions.

4. Select additives that improve performance without compromising biodegradability: Evaluate plasticizers, impact modifiers, nucleating agents, and compatibilizers effectively.

5. Avoid costly biopolymer programs that fail after commercialization: Recognize common industrial failure patterns and design defensively from the start.


Who should attend this training?

This is highly recommended and must have training for chemical industry professionals engaged in diverse application/formulation areas; in particular:

    - R&D chemists, formulators, new product developers
    - Technical service managers, lab managers, product managers
    - People that function in the materials development areas
