BASF ecovio® FT2341 PLA
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polylactic Acid (PLA) Biopolymer
Material Notes:	Product Description: ecovio® FT2341 is our new biodegradable film product based on renewable resources. It is basically a compound of our biodegradable, aliphatic aromatic copolyester grades ecoflex® F and ecoflex® FS and a small amount of polylactic acid (PLA). Ecovio® FT2341 has a biobased content of 34%. Due to its outstanding mechanical strength ecovio® FT2341 offers a great down gauging potential needed for very thing film applications like T-shirt, organic waste and fruit & vegetable bags etc. ecovio® FT2341 does not contain slip agents. Ecoflex® slip masterbatches have to be used to tailor the sliding properties required for easy processing of film extrusion and film conversion equipment. Availability: Europe; North America Features: Alphatic; Aromatic; Biodegradable; Compostable; Food Contact Acceptable; Good Processability; Good Tear Strength; Good Thermla Stabilty; High Melt Strength; High Strength; Renewable Resource Content; Semi Crystalline Use: Bags; Blown Film Agency Ratings: ASTM D6400; DIN EN 13432; EC 1907/2006 (REACH); EU Food Contact; FDA Food Contact RoSH Compliance: RoSH Compliant Appearance: Clear/Transparent; Traslucent Form: Pellets Processing Method: Blown Film Information provided by BASF Corporation
