Oxobiodegradable | BIODEGRADABLE |
| The base is made of mineral salts. | The base are polymers polylactic acid derivatives and are not additive. Only exist biodegradable resins. |
| The mechanism of degradation is caused by oxidation of the plastic molecules to a size that is consumable by microorganisms. Polymer. | The mechanism of degradation is caused by the action of micro organisms directly on the |
| Acts by breaking the molecules of the polymer. In small amounts until their bioavailability. | Act directly on the polymer molecules by direct degradation no matter the size of the molecule. |
| The amount (percentage of weight) of the additive. In the masterbatch determines the speed and time plastic degradation Adjusting according Specific needs. | Your use rate is 100% and its degradation time is related to the environment where it is the polymer. |
| They are used in any application. It is not toxic. | They are used in any application, not toxic. |
| Practical use, is used in various concentrations and no need to change the temperature of the process. | Has inherent problems of process as reducing temperatures. By possible degradation in machine. |
| It does not change the rheology of color in pigmented plastic film. | If you change the rheology of color in pigmented plastic film. |
| His presentation at the pellet deep violet. | It comes in pellet yellowing. |
| The base or carrier of the pellet is made with LLDPE. | The base is 100% polylactic acid resin dispersed Not. |
| The additive can be used for resins: LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, PE (basically Poliolefinas). | There is an additive so it is not recommended for blending with other polymers. |
| The degradation process is by Exposure to light, heat, oxygen and Humidity by a period of time. | The degradation process is by exposure to the action of micro Organisms. |
| The bags manufactured with this additive is degraded much faster than regular plastics in landfills (underground). | The bags manufactured with this additive are degraded much faster than regular plastics in landfills (underground). |
| The average degradation bag with this addictive varies from 3 to 5 years. (Transparent film without printing at 0.5% - 1.05% additive). | The average time of degradation of a bag with this additive varies from 19 to 24 months. (No printing clear film to 0.5% - 1.0% additive |
| The additive is not present typical odor in its pure form and not to be combined with plastic resins will transmit odor. | The additive is not present typical odor in its pure form and not to be combined with plastic resins will transmit odor. |
| The recommended temperature of use is at the temperatures of processes of the poleofina to use. With increasing temperatures Recommended processes starts the process of degradation. | The process conditions are stabilized by the supplier. |
| Applications: for Polyolefins processes. | Applications: For none of the processes of polyolefins (the base is not compatible with polylactic resin None). |
| The additive is effective in any polyolefin resin. | It should not be used in plastic resins. |
| Should not be used in combination With biodegradable additives, are not Compatibles. | It should not be utilzazo oxo-biodegradable additives in combination with are not supported. |
