d2w® Masterbatch

1 of 1 products in this brand
d2w® Masterbatch is a masterbatch which turns ordinary plastic at the end of its useful life, in the presence of oxygen, into a material with a different molecular structure. At the end of the process, it is no longer a plastic, and instead has changed to a material which is biodegradable (by bacteria and fungi) in the open environment.

Stages of oxo-biodegradation with d2w® technology:

d2w® Masterbatch - Stages of Oxo-Biodegradation With D2W® Technology:

1. d2w® masterbatch is added at the manufacturing stage.

2. Film containing d2w® is extruded and then converted into bags or packaging.

3. The product behaves like conventional plastic during its intended service life.

4. After its service life, the bag or packaging may end up in the open environment.

5. The d2w® then takes effect and the product begins to degrade in the presence of oxygen.

6. The product will degrade and biodegrade in a continuous, irreversible and unstoppable process leaving nothing more than carbon dioxide, water and biomass.

Standards – The following standards are used for testing products containing d2w®

British Standard 8472
