Translucent and Compostable

摘要

The FKu~R Kunststoff GmbH.Willich, in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT, Oberhausen, has enlarged its existing product range by a translucent and compostable PLA blend type called Bio-Flex~R 467F with universal application possibilities. The advantages of this new formulation lie in the good application opportunities as well as in the smooth processing on conventional polyethylene blown film lines without having to modify adjustments on screws, dies or take offs. The new PLA blend for film applications Bio-Flex~R 467F stands out due to its high mechanical resistance along with good elongation. The obtained values are perfectly comparable to the values of HDPE. Moreover Bio-Flex~R 467F combines a silk-matt gloss with high transparency.
