|
| | Roplast's EnviRo 6400 target applications include Water Resistant Liners for Compostable Products, Promotional Biodegradable Bags, Bags and Liners used for Diversion of Organic Waste to Composting Facilities and a Compostable Thick PVC Film Replacement.
EnviRo 6400 films have excellent strength and sealability with optics similar to blown high-density film. It is suitable for applications that require compostability and water resistance. The thicker films (over 5 mil) take a score and can serve as a replacement for PVC. The film is a recent entrant to the market and new applications are constantly being considered.
EnviRo 6400 film is water resistant and durable in normal use. It degrades by microbial action in the presence of organic material, heat, and moisture. The film, which contains over 25% non-petroleum material including resin manufactured from corn and a readily available mineral, can form part of a sustainable product program. The Dart impact strength will decrease and the secant modulus will increase during an initial curing of up to one month. The EnviRo 6400 film shelf life is equivalent to LDPE and is recyclable but can not be mixed with other polymers. | |
