About the Product Family
BIO-FED offers a wide range of compounds for blown film extrusion. Thanks to their good melt stability, all compounds can be processed on conventional blown film machines. Our compounds are suitable for both mono- and multi-layer films. Packaging, printing and sealing can also be carried out using standard machinery.
Biodegradable Compounds
Our M∙VERA® bioplastics contain varying proportions of renewable raw materials and polymers, with degradability specified for each compound. The relevant certifications from independent institutes are specified for each compound, e.g. for industrial composting (OK compost INDUSTRIAL in accordance with EN 13432), home composting (OK compost HOME in accordance with NF T51-800 [11-2015]) or soil biodegradability (OK biodegradable SOIL in accordance with ISO 17556/EN 13432 or Biodegradable in Soil in accordance to EN 17033:2018-03 for mulch films) under defined conditions. Further details follow below.
M∙VERA® materials are ideal for use in mono- and multi-layer films. Thanks to the excellent melt stability of M∙VERA® film grades, the compounds can be processed on conventional blown film lines. Finishing, printing and heat-sealing of the films can also be carried out without any problems using standard equipment.
Applications include carrier bags, organic waste bags, fruit and vegetable bags, dog waste bags, mulch films, labels and much more.
