Properties

M·VERA® GP1041

Transparent and particularly flowable

M·VERA^® GP1041 is plastic compound with very good properties. M·VERA® GP1041 is certified by TÜV AUSTRIA as OK compost INDUSTRIAL according to EN 13432, based on the criteria set out below. The compound is suitable for direct food contact, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications in the food industry.

The renewable content in the polymer is over 98%, which can significantly improve the ecological footprint. With high stiffness, excellent strength and low density M·VERA^® GP1041 is a robust but lightweight compound. It is heat resistant up to 50 °C and is characterised by its high transparency.

The material used for injection moulding can be processed well on conventional machines. It is particularly suitable for producing transparent moulded parts, where it stands out for its stability and clear appearance.

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
