EcoSol® Water Soluble Film Technology EcoSol® is a water soluble, biodegradable, polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) film ideally suited for various packaging applications. Water soluble PVOH bags, sachets, or pouches created from
this unique, technically advanced film provide a convenient, safe, and economical delivery system for a wide range of products; including detergents and cleaners, degreasers, concrete additives, pigments, biocides, water-treatment products, agricultural products and others. EcoSol® film has excellent organic solvent resistance, which allows EcoSol® pouches and bags to be used not only for dry powders, but also for liquid products. This contemporary film offers very good mechanical properties: tensile strength, tear strength and puncture resistance. These properties allow EcoSol® to be used in a wide variety of rigorous applications. EcoSol® expands Cortec’s rich line of biodegradable materials: after a few minutes of immersion at the specified temperature, the environmentally safe film dissolves in water leaving a harmless, non-toxic, aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol. Once the liquid solution of PVOH comes into contact with common microorganisms, such as those found in water-treatment plants, conversion to carbon dioxide and water takes place within about 30 days. EcoSol® bags are chemically resistant to: mineral, vegetable and animal oils as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons – and ethers, esters, ketones. EcoSol® can be used for packaging of: • Detergents and cleaners • Degreasers • C oncrete additives • Pigments • Water -treatment products • Biocides • Agricultural products • Soil remediation • Bathing products • Cosmetic industry (disposable cases) • Laundry bags for hospitals EcoSol ® bags were a part of a “ green ” initiative conducted by Wright Patterson Air Force Base where all products and processes were being evaluated for environmental impact. They decided to change applications for cooling and heating systems to “ green ” and safer alternatives. They selected Cortec's products: Boiler Lizard® and Cooling Loop Gator® packed in EcoSol® bags and got a clean, reliable, efficient, and environmentally safe solution that provided excellent corrosion protection. Mechanical properties of EcoSol® packaging conform to the normative of ASTM D 882-02 for Braking factor, Tensile Strength of break, Elongation and Yield Strength; Its Tear Strength is tested according ASTM D 1922-06a and Dart Drop Impact resistance - per ASTM D 1709-04.
