Biotec Bioplast - Model 400 E -Advanced Starch-Based Biopolymer Compound
Bioplast 400 EL is an advanced biopolymer compound that’s designated for us as external layers for co-extrusion with starch-based compounds to improve transparency and mechanical properties. When used as a monolayer film, it’s transparent and has a low coefficient of friction.
- Transparent as monolayer
- External layer in co-extrusion in combination with starch based compounds
- Low friction coefficient
40 % Bio-based carbon content
General applications
Bioplast 400 EL is primarily used to create transparent films.
Sustainability and biodegradability
Bioplast 400 EL has a bio-based carbon share of 40% according to ISO 16620-2 or ASTM D6866. As with all Biotec products, Bioplast 400EL is completely biodegradable. Depending on its thickness, this product is compostable according to EN13432 under well-managed home composting conditions (NF T51-800).
Processing
Bioplast 400 EL was designed to be processed on conventional equipment for blown film extrusion (LDPE or LLDPE) as an outer layer for multi-layer films. This grade is printable and is sealable (heat sealing, RF, ultra-sonic).
