- Product Use
- Ecovio® F2332 exhibits excellent compatibility with Ecoflex®, polylactic acid and other biodegradable polymers. According to our experience pre-drying of Ecovio® F2332 is not required if the granules are taken from an unopened bag.
- The processing of Ecovio® F2332 on extrusion lines depends on the formulation, the extrusion technology and processing conditions. Trials are always recommended to assess the quality of the final product. Ecoflex® masterbatches are available to tailor properties of the final product.
- Product Applications
Ecovio® F 2332 has been developed for the conversion to flexible films using a blown film process. Typical applications are organic waste bags, T-shirt bags and lamination film. In view of numerous factors influencing the functionality and shelf life of ecovio® films and finished articles made thereof, the production parameters have to be tested by the converters before utilization.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Quality Control
Ecovio® F2332 is produced as a standard material in a continuous production process according to DIN EN ISO 9001. The melt volume rate, MVR, at 190 °C, 5 kg, according to ISO 1133 has been defined as specified parameter for quality control. A certificate can be provided with each lot number upon request. The Ecovio® granules have to be pre-dried (6 hours at 70 °C) before MVR measurement to obtain accurate values.
