CARBOMAX®BIO S65MC is a new generation of patented masterbatch produced in pellet form and made of calcium carbonate and a blend of biodegradable polymers fulfilling the requirements of the European standard EN 13432, certified OK Compost Home and OK Compost Industrial by TÜV.

The grade of calcium carbonate has been specially developed to be used in the bioplastics made from polyesters in order to promote the prevention of hydrolysis leading to degrade the mechanical properties of the products.
Therefore, it is possible to substantially increase the rate of calcium carbonate in the films made of bioplastics.
This calcium carbonate is renewable according to ISO 14021 and passes compostability test according to EN 13432 (2000), NF T51-800 (2015), ASTM D6400 (2012) & ISO 17088 (2012).

AREAS OF USE
CARBOMAX®BIO S65MC is mainly used for the extrusion of blown films or cast films (thickness > 10 µm).
We recommend a percentage of use between 5 and 40%.
Typical applications are packaging films, agricultural films (mulching films) and bio-waste bags.
As CARBOMAX®BIO S65MC is very white it can replace significantly TiO2 in white films. It may also be used as antiblock agent.

ADVANTAGES
Using CARBOMAX®BIO S65MC

• improves productivity of extruders and stabilizes the air bubble during the blown film extrusion.

• improves the mechanical properties of products: increase in stiffness, improvement of impact resistance, increase in elongation, opacity.

• reduces energy consumption.

• reduces costs of formulation.

CARBOMAX®BIO S65MC can be compliant for food contact applications. Please make a request for our food contact statement for more information.
CARBOMAX®BIO S65MC helps to reduce consumption of bioplastics, which makes it more environmentally friendly and more economical.
CARBOMAX®BIO S65MC is completely recyclable and biodegradable.
