GAIA Biomaterials - Model Biodolomer® F 900465 -Biodegradable Biomaterial for Film Blowing Applications
Biodolomer® F 900465 is a biodegradable material engineered specifically for film blowing applications with certification for industrial composting. This biomaterial is a blend of biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic copolyester (PBAT), minerals, and plant-based oils. It is designed to facilitate thin film applications such as fruit and vegetable pouches and inflatable packaging by offering significant potential for down gauging. The material can be processed at temperatures between 150 to 175 degrees Celsius and is compatible with conventional blown film lines, achieving film thickness from 10 µm to 120 µm. Its mechanical properties include excellent wet strength for applications like organic waste bags, strong welding properties, and compatibility with water-based flexo printing. Biodolomer® F 900465 is PLA-free and certified biodegradable at ambient temperatures up to 70 µm, complying with the European food contact legislation under EU Directive 10/2011/EC with the 2023/1442 amendment. The material is provided as lenticular pellets in 1-ton big bags and maintains at least a 12-month shelf life when stored unopened at room temperature.Biodolomer® F 900465 is a biodegradable biomaterial developed for film blowing applications. It is certified for industrial composting.
It is basically a compound of a biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic copolyester (PBAT), minerals, and plant based oils.

Biodolomer® F fulfills the requirements of the existing standards for compostable and biodegradable polymers because it is degraded by microorganisms. Biodolomer® creates no microplastics.
The biodegradation process in soil depends on the specific environment (climate, soil quality, population of microorganisms).
Biodolomer® F is one of the few compostable polymers, that complies in its composition with the European foodstuff legislation for food contact, EU Directive 10 / 2011 / EC with amendment 2023/1442.
Specific limitations and more details are given on request. The converter or packer has to check the suitability of the article for the application.
