Time-programmable resin, by the pellet.
Timeplast Raw™ is a time-programmable, water-soluble thermoplastic resin. Extrude it, injection-mold it, thermoform it or blow it into film, and program its lifespan in water: Active grades dissolve in 60 seconds to 60 hours, Passive grades last from 60 days to an unlimited period.
Program the lifespan, keep the process.
Set by molecular weight and part thickness: from 60 seconds (Active) to an unlimited period (Passive) in flowing water.
Designed to dissolve, not fragment, so there are no microplastic pieces left behind.
Extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming and blown film on existing equipment. The material gains molecular weight during molding.
Alcohol, cellulose and vinegar feedstock; no in-house polymerization step, so less energy than conventional plastic production.
Two resins, one chemistry.
The original
Proprietary blend of alcohol, cellulose and vinegar. For parts where the programmed lifespan is the whole point: disposable containers, lids, plates, petri dishes, straws, trays, fibers.

Calcium-carbonate reinforced
Calcium carbonate entangled into the polymer matrix for higher strength and thermomechanical stability at lower cost, with a natural glossy white finish. Water solubility preserved.

Six forms, so far.
TimeStraw. Between batches.
A molecularly polar straw extruded from Timeplast Raw™. Its performance has been checked in Timeplast's own internal testing only; it has no independent certification, and, like every Timeplast product today, it is not intended for food contact.
