- Functions:Prodegradant
- Compatible Polymers & Resins:Polyethylenes (PE)
Biosphere Plastic PE Biodegradable Additive is used to enhance the biodegradation of plastic by adding in hydrophilic parameters to the polymer chain. Polyethylene by itself can be consumed by microorganisms, as we have seen by the Staff at Ben-Gurion University in Israel. We enhance their reaction time in the biodegradation process and allow for these and other microbes to consume the polymer at a much faster rate.
