Compostable Gas Barrier Film with Nichigo G-Polymer™
- In low humidity conditions, Nichigo G-Polymer™ has the highest gas barrier performance of any thermoplastic resin.
- In order to prevent loss of gas barrier performance in high humidity conditions, application of multiple layers is effective.
- COMPOSTABLE AND HIGH GAS BARRIER FILM; Fully biodegradable barrier package material can be made by combination of biodegradable resin such as Poly Lactic Acid(PLA) and Poly Butylene Succinate (PBS), biodegradable adhesion resin (BTR8002P: produced by Mitsubishi Chemical) and Nichigo G-Polymer™ as an intermediate barrier layer.
