GY-MDG High Effect Biodegradable Material

Description

Intro

GO YEN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (GYC GROUP) is a leading manufacturer of specialty chemicals in Asia. We devote ourselves to supplying products and solutions to our customers worldwide to satisfy and expand the market needs.

Plastic products can now be seen everywhere along with the industrial development. However, the massive uses of plastics have become a great threat to the global environment. As a result, lots of companies put their efforts into developing bio-based materials to get over the crisis that the regular plastics we use in our daily life have caused, and subsequently the biodegradable plastics are rolled out and known by us today. Biodegradable plastics can be degraded after being buried in the environment where with light, heat, oxygen, humid, microbes, etc. 

Nowadays, biodegradable plastic has been used to make into our daily necessities; however, compared with the traditional plastic products, the ones that made of biodegradable plastic show poor functionality and properties, leading to the defects such as degradation, yellowing, short shelf life, and so forth. As a result, functional additives become a must for biodegradable material. However, traditional additives are not allowed to be added into biodegradable material due to their indecomposability and toxicity. Therefore, GYC has been investing in the most high-end & environmentally friendly innovation and research and development. GY-MDG High Effect Biodegradable Material provides a complete series of solution that aims shortcomings regarding traditional decomposable materials, including high price of PLA, inability to apply in large quantities, inability to resist oil, heat, and integration with traditional plastics, the solution will not cause harm to the environment. 

The concept of biodegradable plastic is that the material can be degraded into small molecular compounds in a short period of time by sunlight or microbes in soil. The induction period of biodegradable plastic refers to the time that a horizontal crack is appeared on the product caused by the ambient environmental conditions after the bioplastic product is made. Every biodegradable plastic has different induction period, and the duration required for every biodegradable plastic is different either. The induction period of mulch films, for example, should not be shorter than the one of crops. Using the temperature, humidity and microorganisms in the environment, the high-molecular-weight products are first crushed into low-molecular-weight products, and then ingested, swallowed by the microorganisms, and finally decomposed into carbon dioxide, water and bio-based. Buried in the soil is prone to produce a large number of microorganisms, surrounded by microorganisms, and through GYC’s unique nanotechnology, after adding GOYENCHEMUV-BD70 Anti-UV/ Anti-Yellowing Agent for Biodegradable Plastic to the decomposable plastic to form a Nano-barrier on the end product, can effectively block the light, heat, oxygen, moisture, etc. from the external environment. It is suitable for products that require UV resistance, heat resistance, and yellowing resistance, such as outer packaging that protects food from sunlight. Sole materials that are softened by sunlight. Improving the physical properties of biodegradable plastics, enhancing high temperature resistance, providing products with anti-ultraviolet, yellowing resistance, extending the service life of biodegradable plastic products, and improving product quality.

GY-MDG High Effect Biodegradable Material is developed by the GYC Technology Department for this field. It has the advantages of the above degradable materials. It is a natural bio-based decomposable material. It has a strong structure of bast fiber, and bacteria in the air can promote the induction of photooxidation. The reaction, under the irradiation of sunlight and other light sources, uses the energy of photodegradation, ultraviolet rays, and the action of oxygen in the air to decompose the material.

At present, the special case of applying agricultural film is used on crops that are grown twice a year without cracking. Compared with the degradation and decomposition of PLA agricultural film and the scene of weeds, it is actually conducive to adding different ratios of agricultural film to different crops.

Properties

Features/Benefits

• Made from plants (natural ingredients)
• Starts up the biodegradation when contacting the bacteria in the air
• Decomposed into water and carbon dioxide to induce a fixed degradation period and an appropriate length, so that the starting time of plastic degradation can be controlled.
• Better decomposition efficiency, after use, it will generate excellent decomposition efficiency based on the environment, soil, humidity, sunlight (ultraviolet rays), heat, and air.

 

Applications

• Agricultural mulch films
• Plant pot
• Packaging bag, packaging material
• Garbage bags
• Other senior degradable products application

 

Adding Rate

The decomposition efficiency will be higher followed by the increasing adding rate of GY-MDG. The service life of polyolefin films containing GY-MDG can be controlled.

The adding rate can be adjusted according to type of material and the expected effect.
