Natureblend TS0S EX

biopolymer compound

film extrusion & blowing

general description

Natureblend TS0S EX is a biopolymer compound. The grade is designed to be completely biodegradable & compostable (microbial and enzymatic degradation) in the targeted disposal environment; it is biodegradable both in controlled (e.g., industrial compost factilities) as well as in non-controlled (e.g., landfill, soil, roadside, home-compost) conditions. The grade offers a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional fossil-based plastics.

The material has got a balanced water vapor permeability. It comes with excellent elongation values. Natureblend TS0S EX offers a very good processability and can be used on standard extrusion, blown film and blow molding equipment. Manufactured foils are prepared for an easy cutting.
