Polyhydroxybutyrate(PHB) CAS 26063-00-3| Polyhydroxybutyrate Valerate (PHBV)|PHB|PHBV

PHB and PHBV are made of glucose using microbial fermentation technology and are both PHA materials. As a substitute for petroleum-based plastics, this type of material not only reduces carbon emissions but also solves the problem of solid waste disposal. It is an environmentally friendly material with a wide range of application prospects.

PHA, the full name of polyhydroxyalkanoates, is a bio-based polymer material synthesized by microorganisms themselves. Its production process requires providing microorganisms with a certain carbon source (such as sugars, oils, agricultural waste, organic waste and other renewable resources) to promote their growth. When the number of microorganisms increases to a certain predetermined value, the nutritional state is changed through process control, resulting in uneven nutrition of microorganisms. At this time, in order to cope with environmental changes, microorganisms will convert the carbon source in the body into PHA as their own energy reserve. When the number of PHA in the cell body reaches the maximum value, it is extracted artificially.

PHA materials can be degraded into water and carbon dioxide in the natural environment. As a natural and environmentally friendly polymer, it has great development prospects.
