Biomass-based Polyester Blend

The goals of this project were to develop a high-biomass-content thermoplastic polyester blend for window panels and steering-wheel bezels using biomass-based PETG -- reportedly the first application in the world.  The optimized PETG/ABS composition was used to replace a PC/ABS blend. Benefits include a 57% reduction in carbon emissions (145 tons/year), an 88% reduction in VOCs, and a significant increase in molded part chemical resistance. By weight, the biomass content is 25% and by C14, the biomass content is 14%.
