BASF ecovio® FT2331 PLA
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polylactic Acid (PLA) Biopolymer
Material Notes:	Product Description: ecovio® FT2331 is our new biodegradable film product based on renewable resources. It is basically a compound of our biodegradable copolyester grades ecoflex® F and polylactic acid (PLA). Due to its outstanding mechanical strength ecovio® F2331 offers a great down gauging potential needed for very thing film applications like vegetable bags, organic waste bags etc. ecovio® F2331 already contains antiblocking and slip agents required for improved processing on film extrusion and film conversion equipment. Due to the high ecoflex® content in the continuous phase of the polymer structure, ecovio® F2331 exhibits very good sealing properties required for mono- and multi-layer films. Availability: Europe; North America Additive: Antiblock; Slip Features: Antiblocking; Biodegradable; Compostable; Food Contact Acceptable; High Strength; Renewable Resource Content; Slip Use: Bags; Blown Film; Packaging Agency Ratings: ASTM D6400; DIN EN 13432; EC 1907/2006 (REACH); ; EC 2002/72/EC; FDA FCN 178; FDA FCN 475; FDA FCN 907 RoSH Compliance: RoSH Compliant Form: Pellets Processing Method: Blown Film Information provided by BASF Corporation
