- Product Highlights
CARBOMAX®BIO is our new range of biodegradable and compostable products rich in calcium carbonate intended to be used with bioplastics, especially in extrusion-film applications (mulching film for agriculture, flexible packaging, bio-waste bags), thermoforming and injection. We use specially developed calcium carbonate to achieve the best mechanical performance and to avoid hydrolysis in order not to degrade the mechanical properties of the products. By using this technique, it is possible to have optimized particle dispersion and to substantially increase the rate of calcium carbonate in the products made of bioplastics. The bioplastics used in our formulas are 100% biodegradable and compostable, fulfilling the requirements of the European standard DIN EN 13432. The extrusion of biodegradable materials is facilitated by the contribution of CARBOMAX®BIO. CARBOMAX®BIO is available in bio-sourced or mineral versions. The different versions are certified OK compost Home, OK compost Industrial or OK biodegradable Soil by TÜV Austria. CARBOMAX®BIO is very white and helps limit the intake of white colorants in formulations. It is the essential complement to your formulas to reduce your costs.
