Bio-Based Polyolefin Formulations

Maxxam™ BIO Bio-Based Polyolefin Formulations

Sustainable Polyolefins

Maxxam™ BIO bio-based polyolefins are formulated with bio-based resin and/or 10-50% natural filler from renewable plant sources including olive seed powder and cellulose fiber. They achieve comparable performance to standard polyolefins, while offering a more sustainable alternative with a lower product carbon footprint. 

Maxxam BIO polyolefins can be fully customized to meet specific application needs. They can be filled and reinforced to satisfy required performance characteristics and can be blended with glass, minerals, impact modifiers, colorants and stabilizer systems.

Maxxam BIO polyolefins are suitable for use across many industries and applications where traditional polyolefin materials are used, including transportation, industrial, consumer, electrical and electronic, and building and construction.  

Maxxam formulations are only available outside of North America.
