Code: 10477. We produce a biodegradable PBAT granule suitable for sustainable banana cultivation and other applications.

PBAT granule is a biodegradable biomaterial designed for use in blow mold film production applications. It stands out for being compliant with home composting requirements.

Its composition includes a biodegradable polymer of the aliphatic-aromatic copolyester type, enriched with minerals and vegetable oils.

PBAT shows considerable potential for making thin films, making it ideal for the production of items such as shopping bags, waste bags, aprons, and breathable films.

The main characteristics of the PBAT are:

- A processing temperature range that varies between 140 and 155 degrees Celsius.

- Excellent workability on traditional blown film production lines.

- The ability to produce films with thicknesses as thin as 10 micrometres, with typical thicknesses ranging between 18 and 120 micrometres.

- Good mechanical properties which guarantee its resistance and durability.

- Moisture resistance, making it suitable for making organic waste bags.

- Excellent welding capabilities to ensure secure closure of bags.

- Possibility of being decorated with water-based flexographic printing techniques.

- Certification of biodegradability at room temperature for films up to 70 micrometers thick.

- Ready to use without the need for further treatments.
