Our allrounder for the field
M·VERA® A5001 is an environmentally friendly plastic compound and has been specially developed for mulch film applications. Thanks to its food contact conformity it can also be used safely in agricultural areas for food production. The material also impresses with its stability and environmental friendliness. It is certified according to OK compost INDUSTRIAL but field tests have shown that M·VERA® A5001 also degrades completely in the field.
The material shows a good tensile strength and a medium tear resistance which makes it resistant to a wide range of weather conditions. M·VERA® A5001 is opaque and is easy to use with the specially developed AF-Eco® black masterbatch.
Problem-free processing on conventional blown film lines allows easy integration into existing production processes. Thanks to its versatile properties, M·VERA® A5001 is a sustainable and high-performance solution for modern agricultural applications.
