Polybutylene Succinate (PBS) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Poly(butylene Succinate)
- Butanedioic Acid, Polymer with 1,4-Butanediol
Polybutylene succinate supplier for plastics, packaging and personal-care buyers in Malaysia. Known in the trade as PBS and identified by CAS 25777-14-4, it is an aliphatic biodegradable polyester made from succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol.
Commercial material is a white to off-white pellet. Grades separate extrusion and film quality from injection-moulding quality, and the choice turns on melt flow and the properties the finished article needs.
Converters use PBS for compostable films, bags, coatings and moulded disposables, and agricultural buyers use it for mulch film. Cosmetic formulators also use the polymer for its film-forming and skin-conditioning behaviour.
Send the grade, melt-flow or biodegradation requirement, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed in the quotation.

Polybutylene Succinate applications
Safety and handling
Store sealed in a dry area; pellets take up moisture, so keep bags closed before processing. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about polybutylene succinate
What is polybutylene succinate?
PBS is an aliphatic biodegradable polyester made from succinic acid and 1,4-butanediol, identified by CAS 25777-14-4. It is supplied as white to off-white pellets for film and moulding use.
How does PBS compare with PLA?
PBS is more flexible and more processable at lower temperatures than PLA, so it is often chosen for film and compostable packaging, while PLA is stiffer. Many converters blend the two. Tell us your application and we will advise.
Which grade suits my process?
Extrusion and film grades serve blown film, sheet and coating lines, while injection-moulding grades serve moulded disposables. Send your melt-flow target and we will match the grade.
How should the pellets be stored?
Keep bags sealed and dry, as the pellets take up moisture before processing. Pack format and quantity per order are confirmed with the quotation.
