PULLMAN CHEMS offers innovative Oxo Bio-Degradable Masterbatches designed to enhance the environmental friendliness of conventional plastic products. These masterbatches are specially formulated to accelerate the degradation process of plastics under natural environmental conditions, combining oxo-degradation and bio-degradation mechanisms for effective breakdown.
What is Oxo Bio-Degradable Technology?
Oxo bio-degradable additives work by introducing pro-oxidant catalysts that trigger the breakdown of polymer chains when exposed to heat, oxygen, and sunlight. This initial oxo-degradation phase reduces the plastic’s molecular weight, making it more accessible for microorganisms to consume and fully biodegrade it over time. This two-step process helps plastics degrade faster than traditional polymers while eventually converting them into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass.
Key Benefits:
-
Accelerated Degradation – Speeds up plastic breakdown in open environment or landfill conditions.
-
Eco-Friendly – Reduces long-term plastic pollution and environmental footprint.
-
Maintains Performance – Provides normal processing and product properties before degradation starts.
-
Cost-Effective – Compatible with common polyolefins like PE and PP.
-
Custom Formulations – Tailored to control degradation time as per application requirements.
Applications:
-
Shopping and garbage bags
-
Agricultural films and mulch sheets
-
Packaging films and disposable products
-
Food service ware and single-use items
