PBSA
Poly butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate (PBSA) is a biodegradable, semi-crystalline polyester produced by co-condensation of succinic and adipate acid with 1-4-butanediol. All three building blocks can be produced either from renewable feedstock such as glucose and sucrose via fermentation or from petroleum-based feesstock. PBSA is a very attractive biopolymer because its mechanical properties and service temperatures are comparable with those of widely used polyolefins.

Market perspective
Poly butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate (PBSA) is a biodegradable, semi-crystalline polyester produced by co-condensation of succinic and adipate acid with 1-4-butanediol. All three building blocks can be produced either from renewable feedstock such as glucose and sucrose via fermentation or from petroleum-based feesstock. PBSA is a very attractive biopolymer because its mechanical properties and service temperatures are comparable with those of widely used polyolefins.
The main manufacturers of Global PBSA include Kingfa and Sinopec. Kingfa is the core manufacturer with a market share of about 88%. China is the leading production region in the world. The product is widely used in packaging industry, followed by agriculture production.
