Omya Smartfill™ 55 - AV by Omya is a natural calcium carbonate with special surface modification. Exhibits excellent compatibility with engineering polymers such as polyamides (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) and does not cause hydrolysis in biopolymer extrusion. It improves the elongation and impact strength of polyamide (PA) due to an improved isotropy.

• Provides processing benefits which includes reduced warpage and improved surface finish in glass fiber compounds.
• Offers improved polycarbonate (PC) properties compared to conventional calcium carbonate and titanium dioxide with extra opacity.
• It increases polylactic acid (PLA) ductility and can be added to PHA/PHB at higher addition rates than other calcium carbonate grades.
• Omya Smartfill™ 55 - AV is made of 100% PIR (Post Industrial Recycled) calcium carbonate according to Bureau Veritas. The recycled status of this material does not affect suitability for use in contact-sensitive applications (like Food Contact/Food packaging).

VINNEX® 2501 by Wacker is a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer which acts as an impact modifier. Exhibits enhanced flexibility, improved performance in film sealing, improved compatibility with other biopolymers and improved compatibility with polar fillers. Has improved stiffness without affecting biodegradability. It increases impact and melt strength & therefore improves processability (e.g. cutting, removing from reel, separation of film). VINNEX® 2501 suitable for extrusion (Sheet & blown film), injection molding, calendaring and thermoforming. Used in cutlery, packaging (boxes, bags, foams), mulch films, office supplies (pens), toys and household wares. Also used in medical applications, disposable tableware & cups and non-woven fabric.

VINNEX® 2523 by Wacker is vinyl acetate. Acts as an impact modifier. Exhibits enhanced flexibility, higher mechanical toughness & optimized crystallinity and enables film blowing with PHB. It has increased melt strength, improved processability, reduced noise of PLA films, maintained transparency, good performance in film sealing and improved adhesion to paper. It does not show reduction in hardness or modulus and enables improved stiffness without affecting biodegradability. Suitable for extrusion (Sheet & blown film), injection molding, calendaring and thermoforming. Used in cutlery, packaging (boxes, bags, foams), mulch films, office supplies (pens), toys and household wares. VINNEX® 2523 is also used in medical applications, disposable tableware & cups and non-woven fabric.
