This biodegradable (or oxo-degradable) grip seal bag is made using oil-based polymers plus a bio-additive. This bio-additive acts as a catalyst to accelerate the degradation process of the bag.
The additive is designed to manage the lifetime of these grip seal bags, so that when their useful shelf life has passed, they will first degrade and then biodegrade into ecologically-benign products. This process takes 2-5 years, which is much faster than regular polythene (which can be decades or centuries).
Polymer Degradation Additive : Product name: SP7128 0001. Tested as per ASTM D5208 & ASTM D6954. Complies with European directive 2002/72/EEC for overall migration & council of Europe committee of ministers, Resolution AP(89) for colour migration. Heavy Metal free and compliant with RoHS regulation.
To maintain product quality, these grip seal bags should be stored in their original wrapping, and away from any sources of heat or direct sunlight. It is recommended that they are stored from 17-23°C and in relative humidity of 35-55%. Use within 12 months of delivery.
