Eastman Chemical showcased an engineering plastic, Treva, that has optical performance suitable for electronic displays and structural applications. The cellulose acetate propionate (CAP)-based bioplastic also has significantly higher heat deflection temperature (HDT) than standard CAP, making it more dimensionally stable and creep resistant.
The publication also noted Total Corbion’s Luminy PLA portfolio included a range of crosslinked polylactic acid homopolymer resins targeting applications that require increased durability and heat resistance.
