For its packaging offering at K, BASF was promoting the expansion of its range of high performance foam products with the innovative, certified compostable particle foam ecovio EA.
The product is predominantly biobased and, like all of the grades under the ecovio brand, it supports the biological cycle through certified compostability.
The properties of the patented particle foam make it particularly suitable for transport packaging for high-value or delicate goods where a high level of impact resistance and robustness is vital.
The product properties are similar to those of EPS and boast outstanding energy absorption and very good resilience even when subjected to multiple impact loads.
The high biobased content and the certified compostability makes ecovio EA particularly attractive wherever a fossil packaging solution no longer meets customers’ requirements for a biobased and biodegradable transport solution.
This expandable particle foam is easy to process on existing EPP or EPS machines.
Australian exhibitor ICEE said the biofoam offered interesting potential opportunities for its patented foldable box.
