Ecovio® F Blend C2224 is a biodegradable film product containing renewable resources. It is basically a compound of our biodegradable copolyester Ecoflex® F Blend and polylactic acid (PLA, NatureWorks®). Because of the PLA content Ecovio® F Blend C2224 consists of 45% of renewable resources. Ecoflex® F Blend is the coherent phase in the structure of Ecovio® F Blend C2224 transferring the beneficial film properties of Ecoflex® F Blend into the new film product. Application: Ecovio® F Blend C2224 has been developed for the conversion to flexible films using a blown film process. Typical applications are packaging films, hygienic films, carrier bags and compost bags. In view of numerous factors influencing functionality and shelf life of Ecovio® films and finished articles made therof the production parameters have to be tested by the converters before utilization. Additionally sufficient field tests are required to ensure the right functionality of the articles made from Ecovio® F Blend C2224. Information provided by BASF |
