Properties

M·VERA® B5037

The affordable allrounder

M·VERA^® B5037 is a plastic compound specially developed for blown film applications. M·VERA® B5037 is certified by TÜV AUSTRIA as OK compost INDUSTRIAL according to EN 13432, based on the criteria set out below. It is also suitable for contact with food.

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 good and efficient solution for carrier bags and film applications.

Despite these good mechanical properties, the material is cost-efficient and therefore an economical choice for companies. It can be processed on conventional machines, making it easier for processors to switch.

Criteria for certification by TÜV AUSTRIA in accordance with

OK compost INDUSTRIAL (according to EN 13432)

Testing for certain limit values of heavy metals must first be successfully completed
The tests are carried out at approx. 60 °C:
1. Disintegration (end product): Min. 90 % must disintegrate within 12 weeks; remaining parts must not be larger than 2 mm
2. Biodegradation (powder): Min. 90 % within 6 months; measurement of CO₂
Ecotoxicity test: Growth test with two plant species
