Antimicrobial Masterbatches Biocidal & Biostatic in action Very stable as Silver ions are held and released from a glass matrix Easy to dose as the glass matrix is well dispersed in all preparations High degree of efficacy Controlled and sustained release of Silver ions gives consistent performance over a long period of time Silver ions remain stored in the polymer and are gradually made available as the surface is abraded microscopically

ReverteTM Oxo-biodegradables ReverteTM is an ‘oxo-biodegradable additive’ masterbatch Added to standard Polyolefins at 1% by weight ReverteTM will makes ordinary plastic degrade in the environment at the end of its useful life ReverteTM requires no special processing conditions and has little effect on physical properties
How ReverteTM Works Polyethylene and Polypropylene normally degrades very slowly in the open environment due to: High molecular weight (approximately 250,000) Hydrophobic surface ReverteTM rapidly accelerates the oxidative breakdown reducing the molecular weight The low molecular weight species can then be biodigested by microbes in the environment
