Differences between degradable and biodegradable

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.
