The affordable allrounder
M·VERA® B5037 is an advanced plastic compound specially developed for environmentally conscious and for sophisticated blown film applications. The material is OK compost INDUSTRIAL certified and therefore degrades completely under industrial composting conditions. It is also suitable for contact with food which makes it safe for use in the food segment.
M·VERA® B5037 offers an opaque appearance and therefore has an appealing look. With excellent tear resistance and good strength at the same time, the PLA-free compound is an environmentally friendly and efficient solution for carrier bags and film applications. Despite these excellent mechanical properties, the material is cost-efficient and therefore an economical choice for companies. It can be easily processed on conventional machines, making it easier for processors to switch to more sustainable materials.
