AB100 is a compostable random copolymer produced by polycondensation — a copolyester of 1,4-butanediol, adipic acid, and terephthalic acid. Under standard composting conditions, it biodegrades into CO₂ and water.
A compostable alternative to LDPE with similar flexibility and resilience. Suitable for cling wrap, agricultural films, compostable bags, and food packaging. Meets U.S. FDA food safety standards.
- 100% compostable — EN 13432, ASTM D6400, NFT51-800, AS 5810
- 658% elongation at break — LDPE-like flexibility & resilience
- Excellent compatibility with PLA blends
- Down gauging to 10 μm — blown & cast film processing
- Good printability & controllable WVTR
- Available as white granulates — bulk & export packing
Technical Data
AB100 has similar mechanical and processing properties to LDPE. Values listed are referential, measured by test specification.

Safety Advice
Direct contact with melting resin should be avoided during processing operations. The processing area must be well ventilated — during processing, materials may emit fumes containing decomposing substances that can be irritating. Clients should investigate the application demands of their products in advance and contact Biogreen for technical support.
