Functional & Performance Masterbatch
Photo-Oxidation Masterbatch
UV-triggered degradation additive for controlled plastic fragmentation in applications where collection is difficult.
Request a QuoteDescription
Our Photo-Oxidation Masterbatch contains specialized additives that accelerate the degradation of plastic products when exposed to UV light and oxygen. After a controlled service life, the plastic fragments into smaller pieces that further biodegrade, making it ideal for applications where collection is difficult.
Applications
Agricultural mulch films
Outdoor packaging
Forestry wraps
Disposable items
