FKuR Kunststoff GmbH, in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT out of Germany, has introduced a translucent and compostable PLA blend type called Bio-Flex 467F. This new formulation can be processed on conventional polyethylene blown film lines, without requiring modifications or adjustments on screws, dies or take offs. Bio-Flex 467F is very versatile and stands out due to its high mechanical resistance and good elongation properties, as well as obtained values comparable to the values of HDPE.
