Metallized biodegradable film

NatureFlex NM cellulose-based film is claimed to be the first metallized biodegradable film suitable for both industrial and home composting. Noting that the film passes the strict protocols of En13432 and ASTM D6400, the co. says that the 0.02-percent metal content only delays degradation briefly. Modified coatings assure excellent metal laydown and adhesion, providing a MVTR of -10 tropical (30 deg C at 90 percent relative humidity), and the film is said to be static-free, and suitable for twist-wraps and bags in the confectionary market.
