ABM Composite has developed ArcBiox X4/5 fiberglass in various forms for composite applications, from chopped fibers and injection molding compounds to continuous fibers for processes such as textiles and pultrusion. Its ArcBiox BSGF series combines degradable fiberglass with bio-based polyester resin and is available in general technical grade and ArcBiox 5 grade, which is approved for use in food contact products.

Rosling said bio-based PP and PA, whose production is increasing rapidly, do not degrade. "While bio-based PLA and PBS degrade, their mechanical properties and heat resistance are typically very low. Our degradable fiberglass are a big step forward, improving their properties sufficiently to enable new applications." "
