Willow Ridge Plastics BDA

Willow Ridge Plastics BDA is a non-toxic additive which does not contain regulated heavy metals. BDA is currently being used in food contact applications worldwide. Using the oxo-biodegradation process, time, ambient heat, and/or UV light, will oxidize the plastic. Oxidation reduces the molecular weight of the plastic and allows for oxygen containing functional groups to form within the polymer. This allows microorganisms to further biodegrade the polymer once it has been disposed of.

Functions: Prodegradant

Processing Methods: Extrusion, Thermoforming

End Uses: Film, Flexible Packaging, Food Packaging, Heavy Duty Bags, Shrink Wrap
