Partly bio-based and home-compostable, this polymer is designed for blown film applications. With high strength and tear resistance, it supports thin-walled films up to 32 µm. Certified home-compostable under EN 13432 and food-contact approved.
Bio-Flex Home Compost FX1821
Bio-Flex® FX 1821 is a partly bio-based, home-compostable polymer compound designed for blown film applications requiring high strength. Depending on thickness, films produced from this material range from opaque to cream-colored. It is approved for food contact and certified home-compostable according to EN 13432 by TÜV Austria's OK Compost HOME program.
This biodegradable and home compostable polymer compound is designed for blown film applications. It is certified as home compostable under EN 13432 (at ambient temperature) with a maximum thickness of 32 µm. The opaque grades offer high tear resistance and toughness, making them suitable for thin-walled applications. Customer pilot tests have demonstrated that bag wall thickness can be reduced to as low as 8 µm.
