Biodolomer® F 900480
Biodolomer® F 900480 is a biodegradable biomaterial developed for film blowing applications. It is certified for home composting.
It is basically a compound of a biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic copolyester (PBAT), minerals, and plant based oils.
Biodolomer® F offers a great down gauging potential needed for thin film applications like carrier bags, waste bags, aprons etc.
Biodolomer® F exhibits the following properties:
Processing temperature between 155 - 175 Celsius
Excellent process-ability on conventional blown film lines
Down gauging to 12 μm possible, typical thicknesses: 18 - 120 μm
Good mechanical properties
Wet strength (e. g. Organic waste bag applications)
Excellent welding properties
Decor printable by water-based flexo printing
Certified biodegradable at ambient temperatures up to 70 μm
Ready to use grade
Trials are always recommended to assess the quality of the final product.

Typical Basic Material properties of grade 900480
Certification of Compostability and Biodegrade
Biodolomer® F fulfills the requirements of the existing standards for compostable and biodegradable polymers because it is degraded by microorganisms. Biodolomer® creates no microplastics.
The biodegradation process in soil depends on the specific environment (climate, soil quality, population of microorganisms).
Food Regulatory Status
Biodolomer® F is one of the few compostable polymers, that complies in its composition with the European foodstuff legislation for food contact, EU Directive 10 / 2011 / EC with amendment 2023/1442.
Specific limitations and more details are given on request. The converter or packer has to check the suitability of the article for the application.
Form supplied and Storage
Biodolomer® F is supplied as lenticular pellets in 1 t big bags. any time. Storage time of unopened bags is at least 12 months at room temperature (23 °C).
Applications
Biodolomer® F has been developed for the conversion to flexible films using blown film process. In view of numerous factors influencing functionality and shelf life of Biodolomer® films and finished articles made thereof 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 Biodolomer® F.
