Ecovio® M2351

1 of 10 products in this brand
Ecovio® M2351 is our biodegradable compound designed for film extrusion, formulated with our biodegradable copolyester Ecoflex® F Blend and polylactic acid (PLA). Known for its exceptional mechanical strength, Ecovio® M2351 offers significant potential for down-gaging in thin agricultural or horticultural film applications such as mulch film, cover film, silage film, and others. Importantly, Ecovio® M2351 already includes antiblocking agents, which are crucial for ensuring easy processing on film extrusion and conversion equipment. Ecoflex® F Blend serves as the continuous phase in the structure of Ecovio® M2351, transferring the beneficial film properties of Ecoflex® F Blend into the new product.

Product Applications
  • The processing of ecovio® M2351 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 the properties of the final product as well as the barrier to water vapor.
  • Ecovio® M2351 has been developed for the conversion to flexible films using a blown film process. Typical applications are agricultural 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.
