Q & A about Eco-additives
Q & A about Eco-additives
Are these products the same as starch or sugar based plastics (examples: PLA, PHA, PHB, etc.)?
No. Eco-additive based plastics are not similar to corn or sugar based plastics in their properties, how they function, or how they biodegrade.
Is the plastic with Eco-additives the same as oxo-degradable plastic?
No. Oxo-degradable plastics require oxygen and UV light or heat to initiate degradation. Plastics with Eco-additives do not require neither UV light nor oxygen to biodegrade.
Is your organic additive FDA compliant?
Yes, the Eco-additive is FDA compliant for contact with food.
Do products made with Eco-additives have a limited shelf life?
No. Unlike PLA or Oxo products, products made with Eco-additives have the same shelf life as they would had without the additive.
What plastics can Eco-additives be used in?
Eco-additives can be used with virtually any petroleum-based resin.
Do Eco-additives change the physical characteristics of treated plastic?
There are no noticeable changes to the physical characteristics of plastic such as tensile strength, glass temperature, melting temp, transition rates, etc. Some of these values are identified in the TDS (Technical Data Sheet). We encourage customers to test the performance of Eco-additives combined with specific materials.
Does plastic with Eco-additives decrease in performance when operating at elevated temperatures?
No. Tensile strength and the physical properties are maintained even in elevated temperatures. Temperatures that exceed the normal operating range for each specific resin would experience the same loss of properties as the standard plastic.
Do the Eco-additives contain any cancer causing compounds?
No. All of the organic compounds contained in Eco-additives are considered safe for food contact and have no known adverse health effects. The compounds are also not found on the toxic and potentially harmful substance list of CA Prop 65.
How much more do my Eco-additive treated products cost me?
Usually the increase of costs is between 3% and 5%
