Properties

M·VERA® B5039

Impressive toughness

M·VERA^® B5039 is a high-performance, PLA-free plastic compound specially developed for packaging applications. M·VERA® B5039 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 direct food contact.

With its very high strength, high toughness and high dart drop, M·VERA^® B5039 offers excellent resistance – especially in sophisticated applications. The material has an opaque appearance and is ideal for robust shopping carrier bags.

Thanks to its performance, M·VERA^® B5039 also enables the production of thinner films without losing stability. The material can be processed on conventional blown film lines, supporting efficient production. Overall, M·VERA^® B5039 offers a good combination of material savings and high functionality.

Criteria for certification by TÜV AUSTRIA in accordance with

OK compost INDUSTRIAL (according to EN 13432)
