Neat Resin Portfolio
Two Neat Resins.
Endless Possibilities.
We at CJ Biomaterials offer two different neat resin solutions for you to use in a variety of different products. We have PHACT A1000P which is our amorphous PHA that can be used as an impact modifier (add other stuff it can be used for). We also have PHACT S1000P which is our semi-crystaline PHA that can be used in (what is it used in?)

PHACT™ in Action
From raw resin pellets to real-world applications - explore how PHACT™ PHA enables scalable, compostable solutions across industries.
Real-World Applications
See how PHACT™ materials are used in packaging, food serviceware, and consumer products.
Value Propositions
Performance, Support, and Sustainability
Designed to meet real-world application needs, from material performance to technical guidance and end-of-life solutions.
Performance
- PHACT PHA performs similarly to traditional biopolymers. S1000P can be used as a substitute for many semi-crystaline biopolymers.
- A1000P is where the difference is made. A1000P can be added into to PLA, PBAT, and other biopolymers to be used to decrease the amount of time your product needs to biodegrade or to compost. In addition to those properties, it is also a great impact modifier allowing for increased flexibility in products made with it.
R&D Support
- We are with you every step of the way to help you get the best experience with our PHACT products. We have technical experts on staff who have years of experience working with PHA and adapting it into new and existing products.
- Our staff can help you figure out which of our products will work best in your application and can provide advice on the technical aspects to make sure the adoption of PHACT PHA goes smoothly.
Sustainability
Our Neat resins are certified biobased and are certified Home and Industrial compostable by BPI as well as being certified OK compost HOME and Industrial, and OK biodegradable SOIL and Marine by TUV Austria.

Our technical team can help evaluate materials, performance requirements, and sustainability targets for your product.
CJ Biomaterials is the biomaterials division of CJ CheilJedang, producing PHACT branded PHA biopolymers at commercial scale.
CJ Biomaterials produces PHA biopolymers and related basic chemicals using fermentation based biotechnology. Building on decades of experience in food and biotechnology, the company uses bioscience, chemical engineering, materials innovation, and applications development to manufacture PHA solutions at scale for global markets.
Packaging, food serviceware, agriculture, personal care and consumer goods are the most common, wherever a persistent plastic can be replaced.
PHA breaks down in soil, industrial compost and marine environments, so it does not persist as microplastic at end of life.
They shorten the time a discarded product remains in the environment, which reduces accumulation in landfill and waterways.
