Teknor Apex Company

The Bioplastics Division offers the TerraloyTM family of thermoplastic starch (TPS) compounds with polymers. A licensing agreement with Cerestech Inc. grants Teknor Apex exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and market that company's patented technology and to sub-license use of the compounding process. The technology involves preparing TPS from starch granules and then combining it with bioplastics like biodegradable copolyester (PBAT), polylactic acid (PLA) or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) or with petrochemical-based polymers such as polyolefins and polystyrene.
