FORZEAS^TM is bio-degradable and bio-based compound material  designed and produced by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC)  with its unique polymer technology and matches various type of application. Polybutylene succinate (PBS) (sometimes written polytetramethylene succinate) is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family. PBS is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester with properties that are comparable to polypropylene. It is mainly manufactured via condensation polymerization of succinic acid (or dimethyl succinate) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO), both of which are mainly derived from maleic anhydride. Like polylactic acid (PLA), it fully decomposes into biomass, CO2 and H2O and thus can be disposed off together with other organic waste.

FORZEAS^TM is raw material based on PBS, it applies to injection, extrusion, blow film, lamination and straws applications. Besides, it can be in accordance with TUV Industrial and Home compost certification and Marine certification.。
