FKuR Kunststoff Bio-Flex® F 2201 CL Compostable PLA Blend

The BIO-FLEX® trade name indicates blends of co-polyester and PLA* with, depending on the particular grade, a very high content of natural resource material. BIO-FLEX® does not contain any starch or starch derivatives. Bioplastics generally replace conventional materials such as low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polythene (HDPE) as well as polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene (PP). For packaging applications these materials need to be converted into film which is as thin as possible while maintaining high tensile strength. Depending on the specific application, packaging films have to provide a high barrier against humidity, oxygen and aromas or alternatively provide adequate permeability (“breathability”).BIO-FLEX® F 2201 CL is predominantly composed of renewable resource raw materials. A film made from BIO-FLEX® F 2201 CL stands out due to its high transparency as well as its high flexibility and toughness. Due to the good interply strength of the layers this material is basically used in multilayer systems. Information Provided by FKuR Kunststoff GmbH
