7000 Series

for compostable film

The Natur-Tec^®7000 series is a platform of biobased and compostable polymer resin compounds designed specifically for flexible film applications. Compostable plastic film is used to produce compostable bags and liners, packaging, and more. Our resins are certified fully compostable to the stringent requirements of international standards for compostable plastics, including ASTM D6400, EN 13432, and ISO 17088, and provide an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plastics.

The 7000 series resins are engineered for high performance and can be easily processed on standard extrusion equipment. These films are durable and strong, affording an excellent heat-seal strength, and allowing for crisp and clear printability. For applications where high barrier properties are required, Natur-Tec^® films can be easily combined with other substrates in a laminate structure as a sealant layer.

7000 Series Grades

Natur-Tec^® BF700Z-X

The Natur-Tec® BF700Z-X is a resin platform tailored for flexible film applications. It is engineered for high performance and can be easily processed on standard extrusion equipment.

BF7001

Provides for a soft, highly flexible, and tough film
Higher tensile, dart impact, and tear strengths than LDPE
Engineered strong. Liners made from BF7001 hold up to 80 pounds
Elongations are similar to LDPE/ LLDPE blends
Excellent for packaging applications and bin liners

BF7002

BF7002 provides for a balance of flexibility and stiffness allowing for die-cutting while still maintaining flexibility and toughness for good load bearing capacity
Up to 20% biobased carbon content as measured by ASTM D6866 and EN 16785
Formulated for shopper/t-shirt bag applications
Holds up to 40 pounds

BF7003

BF7003 is our stiffest film formulation providing modulus, tensile strength and elongation similar to HDPE
Up to 30% biobased carbon content as measured by ASTM D6866 and EN 16785
Clear films for fast and accurate in-line scanning
Engineered for films used to make side-seal & cut packaging bags not needing as much load bearing capacity
Ideal for garment and apparel packaging applications
