Telles M-vera™ B5002 Film Grade PHA Bioplastic (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP
Material Notes:	Compostable film product, processable on conventional thermoplastic equipment; rheology and film properties similar to LLDPE. Certified to ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 standards for compostable plastics. Uses include blown and cast film - can liners, bags, yard waste collection bags. About Mirel Bioplastics Mirel is a family of bioplastic materials that have physical properties comparable to petroleum-based resins, yet are both biobased and biodegradable in natural soil and water environments, home composting systems, and industrial composting facilities, where these facilities are available. The rate and extent of Mirel's biodegradablility will depend on the size and shape of the articles made from it. However, like nearly all bioplastics and organic matter, Mirel is not designed to biodegrade in conventional landfills. All reported data are based on a 1.0 mil thick blown film (2.5 blow-up ratio) produced using a 65 mm extruder fitted with a 110 mm spiral mandrel blown film die and a dual-lip air ring. Thermal and mechanical properties are measured after 2 weeks conditioning at room temperature. Telles is a joint venture between Metabolix and Archer Daniels Midland Company.
