GAIA Biomaterials - Model Biodolomer F 900480 -Biodegradable Film Material
Biodolomer® F 900480 is an innovative biodegradable biomaterial specifically designed for film blowing applications. It is made from a biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic copolyester (PBAT) and enriched with minerals and plant-based oils. This material is particularly suited for applications that require thin films, such as carrier bags, waste bags, and aprons, offering the potential for significant down gauging. Processing temperatures for Biodolomer® F range between 155 to 175 degrees Celsius, and it performs efficiently on conventional blown film lines. The material can achieve thicknesses as low as 12 micrometers, with typical thicknesses between 18 and 120 micrometers. It also boasts excellent mechanical properties, superior wet strength, and outstanding welding properties, making it ideal for organic waste bag applications. Biodolomer® can be printed using water-based flexo printing. Certified for compostability, it meets the European Union's food contact regulations and leaves no microplastics behind.Biodolomer® F 900480 is a biodegradable biomaterial developed for film blowing applications. It is certified for home 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.
