Biodegradable Films

   

 

   

LT bio is a biodegradable and compostable plastic film very similar to polyethylene. Bioplastic packaging film based on potato's starch, it is compostable.

LTBio is a biodegradable and compostable plastic film very close to polythen or polyethylene.

Its mechanical performances are similar to a LLDPE, with a good breaking strength and a good resistance to tear.

LTBio is food contact approved

Has good barrier properties

Is inherintly anti-static

Has a low melting point

Is plasticizer free

This film is available in thicknesses from 18 microns to 70 microns .

They are available in tubular width from 300 to 1400 mm.

It is a biodegradable and home compostable packaging film.

LTBio is a bioplastic. Based on potato's starch, it is home compostable : when put in a home compost, it will degraded by action of micro organisms, be converted in CO2 and will have no negative effect on the natural compost.
Unlikely usual polyolefin films as polythene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), this film is fully biodegraded at least in 6 months.

LTBio is fully in conformity with the European Directive 94/62 on packaging waste and the European Standard EN 13432. (for more information on the Directive)

Applications are numerous : among others supermarket bags, shopping bags, bundling film for magazines and newspapers, lining, enveloppes.

 

LTBIO is a good alternative to PE film.

LTBio is based on potato's starch but also on other bio polymers and biodegradable polymers. This original composition gives this biodegradable and compostable packaging film the main technical specifications of a polythen film.

 

 

 

  • LFT : Lay Flat Tube. This is the basic product obtained by blown extrusion, a tubular film. At the end of the process, the plastic film is winded on a core and flattened.

 

  • CFS : Centre fold sheet. It is a lay flat tube cut (or opened) on one side.

 

  • SWS : Single wound sheet. This film is obtained when both edges of a lay flat tube (or tubular film) are cut. Each film is then winded on a core.
