The technology behind Trifilon B makes it the best, high-grade biocomposite. First, it’s easily processible. It does not present problems with special injection molding equipment or extremely narrow processing windows like other bio-based composites. Trifilon B can be processed at lower temperatures, often with improved cycle times, even in thin-walled packaging applications.
Secondly, the specially optimized fibers in Trifilon B means that it has mechanical advantages over biocomposites using other organic sources.
Third, the sorts of plant fibers used in Trifilon B are advantageous when it comes to sustainability and encouraging biodiversity. The hemp used in Trifilon B is grown as a rotational crop and doesn’t compete with food production, while the cellulose fibers come from PEFC certified Nordic forests. Both fibers are particularly good at sequestering carbon, a process researchers say is an important tool in hitting emissions targets.
