Terranyl sheets

Terranyl® is a biobased and biodegradable bioplastic type. In other words, it is made from organic products and is biodegradable. The Terranyl sheets are made of, among other things, starch. This starch is a residual product from the washing installations of the potato industry. The material is very easy to work with, so it is suitable for various applications. Bioplastic is generally not suitable for outdoor use. More information about bioplastic in general can be found on the bioplastic page. Terranyl also has a Vinçotte 3 star quality mark. This means that it is compostable under non-industrial conditions. Most importantly, it has much lower CO2 emissions than plastic.

Applications of Terranyl

In terms of properties, Terranyl is very similar to the plastics Polystyrene and Foamed PVC. Therefore, it makes it an excellent replacement for these two. Terranyl sheets are used in i.a. the sign industry. For example for displays and POS material. The naturel-opal version has a light transmission of 30 % and is very suitable for lighting applications.

Stock

The sheets are available per piece. They are available the color naturel – opal. The standard dimensions are 1000x600mm and 2000x1200mm in the thicknessess 2mm and32mm. For other sizes or large quantities, please contact us.

Work with Terranyl

Terranyl is, as mentioned before, very easy to work with. For example, it is possible to cut, glue, saw, drill and digital print the sheets. The sheets are suitable for vacuum-thermo forming. The thermoform window is narrow so do some trials first. All in all, there are many creative possibilities for these sheets.

Circular product

Terranyl is a circular product. The life cycle looks like this: First the starch is processed into a biobased granulate. Secondly, the granulate is used to create the sheet. Thirdly, the sheets are, for example, printed and used as advertising in a supermarket. Finally, the sheets are collected and recycled or composted.
