Description

AGENACOMP – your compound for film extrusion from Agrana

Starch is an amazing and very versatile material, making it an important base for modern bioplastics. In the production
of bioplastics, AGRANA uses its many years of expertise in the production and processing of starch and supplements this with the knowledge of the needs of the plastics industry.

AGENACOMP – your compound for film extrusion

Our AGENACOMP is home compostable and contains up to more than 50 % renewable materials. It allows to extrude
films of less than 15 µm by standard film extrusion equipment.

AGENACOMP
BIO-BASED
AGENACOMP compounds are available with a bio-based
content of more than 50 %.
FILM
A 25 µm film typically results in an extensibility of 350 %
and a tensile strength of 25 MPa.
NO SMOKE
The new technology of AGENACOMP significantly reduces
the development of smoke during film blowing.
STRETCHING
Stretching increases the tensile strength, whereby values
in a range of 60 MPa are accomplished (depending on the applied draw-ratio).

AGENACOMP is certified according to EN 13432
