EarthAware™ Films EarthAware XD Blend Biodegradable Premium EZ-Tear™ Pillows (EGXD) AirPouch® EZ-Tear™ void-fill air pillows are now available in 0.95 mil XD Blend Biodegradable Premium Film. XD Blend is engineered using the latest polymer technologies to provide an air pillow with superior physical properties that also promotes sustainability. XD Blend Bio is part of the EarthAware™ family of films, and contains a proprietary additive that causes biodegradation of the poly in one to five years, depending on exposure conditions. XD Blend Bio is fully recyclable, and contains up to 20% pre-consumer recycled material. Each XD Blend Bio pillow uses less material than the industry average, and once inflated, can be used over and over again. AirPouch EZ-Tear void-fill air pillows feature our patented perforation between each pillow, allowing quick and easy separation for ergonomic packing. These perforations allow more air into each pillow, providing better yield, a lower cost per cubic foot, and less weight per package. Like all AirPouch pillows, XD Blend Bio pillows come fan-folded in a box, providing substantially more yield than competitive, rolled materials. Each box contains nearly a mile of uninflated pillows, reducing changeovers, shipping costs and storage requirements. User Benefits • Exceptionally strong material with unmatched puncture resistance • Nearly a mile of material per box reduces changeover, storage space and shipping costs • EarthAware™ Biodegradable formula minimizes environmental impact • Infinitely recyclable • Unique EZ-Tear™ Perforations between each pillow are packer-friendly and designed for increased speed and efficiency Technical Specifications Available sizes: 8”, 10” & 12” widths; Available in various standard lengths Printing: Stock printed with EarthAware™ logo for end-user awareness Unit of measure: 5,000 linear feet of material per box; 24 boxes per pallet Performance Data: Haze (with standard bio green tint) Puncture Resistance (Dart g) Test data reflects EGXD material only.
