ECOPOND® Compostable Polyesters

KB100
Product Introduction
KB100 is a compostable random copolymer produced by polycondensation reaction, consisting of a
copolyester of 1,4-butanediol, adipic acid and terephthalate acid. When metabolized in home compost
under standard conditions, KB100 will be biodegraded into small monomers. These small monomers
will be taken by microorganisms, and eventually biodegraded into carbon dioxide and water.
The compostability of KB100 fulfills the requirements of NFT51-800, AS 5810, DIN V 54900-1, EN
13432 and ASTM D 6400, and the material meets the U.S. FDA food safety standards.
The high molecular weight of KB100 makes it possible to blow or cast films, alone or blended with
other materials.
KB100 is a compostable alternative to LDPE, with many similar properties including flexibility and
resilience. Particular applications include cling wrap for food packaging, compostable plastic bags for
gardening, agricultural usage.

Processing Information
KB100 has good processing stability. It can be used alone or blended with other material through
conventional blowing or casting process.
Well packaged products can be used directly. If package had been damaged before use, the product
should be dried prior to processing. When the moisture content exceeds 500 ppm, film-blowing will be
affected. Effective drying takes place at 80 oC for 4 hours. The dried product should keep away from
moisture.
