DPM’s P-Life Masterbatch is an advanced oxo-biodegradable additive technology designed to transform conventional polyolefins (such as PE and PP) into environmentally responsible materials. By incorporating specialized catalysts, this masterbatch triggers a multi-stage degradation process: first, through oxidative degradation (heat and sunlight), and subsequently, through biodegradation by microorganisms. It is the perfect solution for manufacturers looking to produce “green” products using existing machinery and standard resins.
Key Advantages
-
Proven Degradation Technology: Accelerates the breakdown of plastic carbon chains, converting long-life plastics into low-molecular-weight fragments that are easily consumed by bacteria and fungi.
-
Seamless Integration: Compatible with existing production lines (film blowing, injection molding) without requiring expensive equipment upgrades or changes in processing speed.
-
Controlled Lifespan: The induction period (shelf life) can be customized according to customer requirements, ensuring the product remains strong during use but begins to degrade after its service life.
-
Preserved Physical Properties: Does not compromise the clarity, tensile strength, or sealability of the final plastic product during its intended usage period.
-
Cost-Effective Sustainability: Offers a more affordable alternative to fully bio-based resins (like PLA/PBAT) while still meeting environmental goals for single-use plastics.
Industrial Applications
-
Retail & Fashion: Widely used for shopping bags, boutique carrier bags, and garment covers.
-
E-commerce & Logistics: Ideal for courier bags, mailers, and protective stretch films.
-
Flexible Packaging: Applied in bread bags, vegetable wraps, and various food-grade secondary packaging.
-
Agricultural & Disposable Items: Used for mulch films, trash bags, and disposable gloves or aprons.
Product Specifications
-
Recommended Dosage: 1% – 2% (depending on the required degradation timeline).
-
Packaging: 20–25 kg per moisture-proof bag.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct UV light and high temperatures to prevent premature activation.
-
Transportation: Sea or land freight based on mutual agreement.
