In response to the UAEs commitment towards promoting an eco-friendly global environment, EnerPlastics Oxo-Biodegradable (OBD) additives offer an environmental friendly alternative to both plastic manufacturers and consumers. This sustainable solution will modify commodity plastics and ensure increased environmental responsibility. EnerPlastics OBD additives convert long-life polyolefin plastic bags to degrade after a pre-programed life span of complete mechanical integrity, is therefore an optimum approach to the environmental pollution and its consequences. The mechanism of polyethylene biodegradation known as Oxo-Biodegradation involved in two stages, these are: abiotic (photo or thermo) oxidationmicrobial biodegradationInitial abiotic oxidation is an important stage as it determines the rate of entire process. In this stage polyethylene is oxidized leading to reduction of its molecular weight significantly. Also hydroxyl (-OH), carbonyl (C=O) and carboxylic (-COOH) groups are introduced into polyethylene chain leading to further oxidation of polyethylene. The main factors that influence abiotic oxidation are heat and sunlight. They are crucial for both reduction of molecular weight and the production of low molecular weight compounds that can be assimilated easily by the microorganisms.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is defined as that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between x rays and visible light, i.e., between 40 and 400 nm. The sun is our primary natural source of UV radiation. Artificial sources include tanning booths, black lights, curing lamps, germicidal lamps, mercury vapor lamps, halogen lights, high-intensity discharge lamps, and fluorescent and incandescent sources. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and other light sources such as fluorescent lighting is harmful to polymer properties. Finished plastic parts exposed to direct or indirect sunlight can display surface chalking as the polymer becomes oxidized, and can lose physical properties and become brittle to the point of no longer being fit for original use. UV light also accelerates the fading of plastic colorants EnerPlastics offers state of the art solutions to provide superior UV protection by giving unique formulations to suit requirements of end users according to application and climatic conditions of a particular location. EnerPlastics offers UV stabilizers for different applicationsFlexible packaging for outdoor applicationsGreen house filmsInjection molded articles for outdoor use (eg. garden chairs, crates)Automotive compoundsParking ShadesPC Transparent sheet

EnerPlastics also provides solutions to help (Blow ) Plastic products moulders reduce cycle times, achieve uniformity in product weight, improve gloss and weather compatibility of their products. Another area pioneered by EnerPlastics is a range of Additives that can be widely used in the Film Industry, PP non-woven (Spun bond and melt blown) applications as well as in the PP geotextile and PE artificial grass applications. The list below helps the customers to select a suitable additive to meet their requirements. For further details on EnerPlastics Additive masterbatch, contact EP Sales. EnerPlastics offers a vast range of different kinds of additives that will enhance and reinforce polymers and masterbatch itself in whatever purpose it may serve during application process and in plastics products end usage.
