Polybutylene succinate (PBS) (sometimes written polytetramethylene succinate) is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family. PBS is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester with properties that are comparable to polypropylene.
It may also be referred to by the brand names GsPLA or BioPBS (Mitsubishi Chemical).[1] PBS consists of polymerized units of butylene succinate, with repeating C8H12O4 units.
