Biograde WS-50

• A fully biodegradable resin for dispersible film applications

• Water soluble, biodegradable and compostable

• Used for thin and thick gauge film applications

Biograde WS-50 is a water dispersible, biodegradable and compostable resin for manufacture of plastic film based on thermoplastic starch (TPS). The solubility of the film is controllable and it dissolution increases with water temperature and agitation. Biograde has developed an optimum formulation which is cost effective and produces a strong film with excellent mechanical properties.

Biograde WS-50 resins comply with EN14987 for water dispersibility but also comply with ISO14851 for biodegradation in an aqueous aerobic environment with both test carried out at room temperature.

Biograde WS-50 is perfectly positioned to be integrated into modern organic waste recycling system as it is compatible with commercial composting, aerobic digestion and anaerobic digestion.

Applications
"Environmentally friendly" Biograde WS-50 can be used to make:

• Dispersible laundry bags (for 100% infection control)

• Dispersible dog poo bags for toilet disposal

• Dispersible scallops bags for seeding juvenile scallops

• Dispersible Pigment Bags

• Dispersible bags for industrial chemicals (measured dose applications)

• Dispersible bags for agro-chemicals (measured dose applications, no exposure to chemicals by operator, ease of use and convenience).
