Polyhydroxyalkanoate

# A biobased film-former for coatings

Bioextrax offers a PHA that could be a candidate for coating formulations: Monas™ Film, our PHO grade, a soft biopolymer with film-forming capacity. It is biobased, biodegradable and made by microbes.

### A new starting point for adhesives

Adhesives are used in almost everything that is packaged, labelled or built. Their performance depends largely on the polymer at their base, and in most adhesives today, that polymer is made from non-renewable raw materials. Explore our biobased and biodegradable alternative below.

### Monas™ Film

Monas™ Film, based on Bioextrax PHO grade, is a soft, flexible and amorphous PHA with film-forming properties. These characteristics make it a biobased alternative for coating formulations where flexibility and durability are important.

**Key properties and benefits**

- Elastic and tough, so the film moves with the surface rather than breaking.
- A biobased alternative to polymers made from conventional raw materials.
- Fully biobased and biodegradable.
- Produced with our water-based technology, built for large-scale production.
- Available from samples to commercial volumes, or through licensing of our process.

## How we work with partners

Our core model is technology licensing. Licensees gain access to our process, our expertise and the bacterial cultures required to run it. For Vidus™ SPF Booster and Monas™ Film, we also produce and supply the materials ourselves, from samples to commercial volumes.
