Biodegradable Polymers

Ecovio® F23B1 is one of our biodegradable film products, consisting primarily of our biodegradable, aliphatic-aromatic copolyester Ecoflex® F and a small amount of polylactic acid (PLA). This formulation results in outstanding mechanical strength, providing significant potential for down-gaging in very thin film applications such as T-shirt bags and organic waste bags. Importantly, Ecovio® F23B1 already includes antiblocking and slip agents, essential for facilitating easy processing on film extrusion and film conversion equipment.

Ecovio® PS1606 (formerly known as Ecovio® FS Paper C1500) is our compostable product designed for paper coating, derived from renewable resources. It represents a specialized grade of our new compostable copolyester, Ecoflex® FS, blended with polylactic acid (PLA). Ecovio® PS1606 contains 75% renewable resources, as certified by ASTM D 6866. In the structure of Ecovio® PS1606, Ecoflex® FS imparts its beneficial properties – high toughness, excellent drawdown, superior welding capabilities, and good adhesion to cellulose. These attributes make Ecovio® PS1606 suitable for extrusion coating applications on paper and board, ensuring both compostability and performance standards.

Ecovio® T2308 is a biodegradable cast film product incorporating renewable resources. It is primarily composed of our biodegradable copolyester Ecoflex® and polylactic acid (PLA). The inclusion of Ecoflex® in the compound provides unique properties such as increased impact resistance and favorable processing behavior. These characteristics make Ecovio® T2308 well-suited for various applications requiring biodegradable cast films.

Ecovio® F2341 is one of our biodegradable film products, primarily consisting of our biodegradable, aliphatic-aromatic copolyester Ecoflex® F and a small amount of polylactic acid (PLA). Due to its excellent mechanical strength, Ecovio® F2341 offers significant potential for down gaging, making it suitable for very thin film applications such as T-shirt bags and organic waste bags. Notably, Ecovio® F2341 does not contain slip agents. To achieve the required sliding properties for easy processing on film extrusion and conversion equipment, Ecoflex® slip masterbatches must be used.

Ecoflex® Batch SL05 is our certified compostable, aliphatic-aromatic copolyester typically used for film extrusion. Ecoflex® batches are also based on Ecoflex®, providing a biodegradable and compostable matrix for this special masterbatch. Masterbatches based on Ecoflex® will enable your application to qualify for certificates according to worldwide existing standards.

Ecoflex® Batch AB 1 is our certified compostable, aliphatic-aromatic copolyester typically used for film extrusion. Ecoflex® batches are also based on Ecoflex®, providing a biodegradable and compostable matrix for this special masterbatch. Masterbatches based on Ecoflex® enable qualification for certificates according to worldwide existing standards.

Ecovio® F2224 is a biodegradable film and blow molding product partly based on renewable resources. It is primarily a compound of our biodegradable, aliphatic-aromatic copolyester Ecoflex® F and polylactic acid (PLA). Ecovio® F2224 already contains a slip agent, which is required for easy processing on film extrusion and film conversion equipment.

Ecovio® T2206 is our new biodegradable film product incorporating renewable resources. It is primarily composed of our biodegradable copolyester, Ecoflex® F Blend, and polylactic acid (PLA). With its PLA content, Ecovio® T2206 consists of 60% renewable resources. This product has been developed specifically for the conversion of extruded films using a sheet extrusion line followed by orientation or thermoforming processes. Typical applications include oriented monofilaments and twine for agricultural uses. Ecovio® T2206 is also suitable for thermoforming applications such as cups, trays, and other containers. Furthermore, Ecovio® T2206 is formulated with antiblocking agents to enhance its processing capabilities on extrusion and subsequent processing equipment.

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.

Ecovio® F2332 is a biodegradable film product partly derived from renewable resources. It is primarily composed of our biodegradable, aliphatic-aromatic copolyester Ecoflex® F and polylactic acid (PLA). Ecovio® F2332 includes antiblocking and slip agents, essential for facilitating easy processing on film extrusion and film conversion equipment. Ecoflex® F serves as the continuous phase in the structure of Ecovio® F2332, transferring the beneficial film properties of Ecoflex® F into the final product.
