Biodegradable Plastic Additives are chemicals that are added to plastic products to enhance their biodegradability. These additives help plastics break down faster when exposed to environmental conditions like sunlight, heat, and moisture. They are a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic additives, as they allow plastics to degrade naturally without leaving harmful residues in the environment. These additives are increasingly used in packaging, agricultural products, and consumer goods to promote environmental sustainability.
| Additive | Key Properties | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| PBAT Toughener | Improves toughness and flexibility of biodegradable plastics | Packaging, agriculture, consumer goods |
| PLA Plasticizer | Enhances flexibility and durability of PLA plastics | Packaging, consumer goods, agricultural products |
| Chain Extender | Increases molecular weight and strength of biodegradable plastics | Packaging, automotive, industrial products |
| Calcium Carbonate Masterbatch | Improves mechanical properties and reduces production costs | Packaging, consumer goods, medical devices |
Biodegradable Plastic Additives are used in a variety of applications where sustainability and environmental impact are key concerns:
