Coffee capsules made from M·VERA® GP1065.
Bioplastic with improved oxygen barrier
M·VERA® GP1065 is an advanced bioplastic designed for coffee capsule applications. The compound contains over 98% renewable raw materials in the polymer and is tailored to the requirements of dimensionally stable coffee capsules.
M·VERA® GP1065 fulfils the requirements for contact with food according to EU 10/2011 and FDA. It offers an improved oxygen barrier (OTR), extending shelf life and reliably protecting the coffee's delicate flavour. At the same time, M·VERA® GP1065 scores points with its high heat deflection temperature (HDT) of more than 110 °C, making it ideal for hot beverage applications. The improved stiffness balances stiffness and toughness, preventing brittle behaviour. The result is high dimensional stability and a pleasant feel for the final application.
Good flowability and demouldability support injection moulding. Fast cycle times and a high process stability enable an efficient and economical production process. The material has an attractive translucent beige appearance and can be individually coloured with suitable AF-Eco® colour masterbatches.
M·VERA® GP1065 was specifically developed for the production of coffee capsules but is also suitable for other demanding applications, such as dimensionally stable packaging, technical components in the agricultural and landscape sectors, or functional moulded parts. This material suits businesses seeking a high-performance solution for these applications.
