FKuR Kunststoff Bio-Flex® F 6611 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 6611 is a certified GMO-free and consistent further development of the current product portfolio. BIO-FLEX® F 6611 is ideally used for thermoforming. It is pleasant to the touch and has a pearlescent gloss. With a heat distortion temperature of over 130 °C, which can be reached by appropriate processing, it has an outstanding heat resistance for a bioplastic. BIO-FLEX® F 6611 is furthermore biodegradable and predominantly composed of renewable resource raw materials. Information Provided by FKuR Kunststoff GmbH
