Biocomposite
Syklo’s biocomposite – advanced technology for reinforced materials
Syklo’s biocomposite is used to reinforce technical plastics in applications demanding improved tensile and flexural strength, as well as impact resistance. Thanks to this material, traditional reinforcements such as talc or glass fibre can be replaced with more environmentally friendly alternatives.
Our Masterbatch product is a pellet for producers of plastic raw materials containing a high fibre content (60–70%). It is suitable for direct application in both the production process and in feeders. We offer the Masterbatch for plastics of PP and PE qualities, as well as tailored solutions for other plastics.
Our products made from recycled raw materials
- RPP70: recycled polypropylene, 70 % recycled cellulose fibre
- RPE70: recycled polyethylene, 70% recycled cellulose fibre
Our virgin products
- PP70: polypropylene, 70% cellulose fibre
- PE70: polyethylene, 70% cellulose fibre
Additionally, we offer solutions tailored to other polymers.
The patented technology ensures high quality
Our patented wet-web technology preserves the length of cellulose fibres and ensures their optimal entanglement, resulting in exceptionally high technical properties for our product.
The technology also enables the direct integration of recycled fibre waste into production, while recycling process water and waste back into the system. In addition, the plastic and metal produced as side stream products from processing can also be utilised in the manufacturing of new products.
A climate-friendly solution
Biocomposites significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They reduce the use of virgin materials and sequester carbon throughout the product’s life cycle. This makes biocomposites an especially eco-friendly choice for reinforcing technical plastics. The product supports the circular economy and meets increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
Syklo provides technical support
Syklo’s expert technical team supports its customers throughout the biocomposite’s life cycle, from initial product development to full-scale production. We offer comprehensive support for optimising processing and material performance.
