d2w controlled-life plastic technology

• No need for new machinery or to re-train workforce.

• Seamless integration into the manufacturing process.

• Added at only 1% means little or no on-cost.

• The same characteristics in terms of strength and flexibility as conventional plastics.

• Proven performance in terms of degradation, biodegradation and eco-toxicity by test methods prescribed by ASTM D 6954-04, AFNOR Accord T51-808, BS 8472 and ESMA standard 5009:2009.

• Can be safely recycled with conventional plastic.

• More than 200,000 tons of plastic containing d2w have been successfully recycled in the last 5 years.

• d2w has been tested for food-contact safety according to the requirements of the European Union Regulation No 10/2011 and the Food & Drugs Administration of the United States, Code of Federal Regulation, Title 21 and ANVISA RDC 17/2008:

• A study carried out by Intertek in 2012 into the life cycle of shopping bags, concluded that the environmental credentials of oxo-biodegradable plastic were ahead of bio-based and conventional plastic bags.

PLASTIC, WITHOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL BAGGAGE

The d2w brand together with the Eco-Label represents Quality, Service, Security of Supply and more importantly, Trust.

All of this adds up to substantial positive PR for customers, being a practical demonstration of their concern for the environment and their commitment to sustainability.

03

When d2w® is included at the manufacturing stage it converts everyday products (made from PE, PP or PS) at the end of their useful life into materials which are biodegradable in the open environment in the same way as a leaf only quicker, and without leaving toxic residues.

d2w is the only oxo-biodegradable plastic additive to be awarded an internationally-recognised Eco-Label. The Eco-Label proves the environmental credentials of d2w and distinguishes it from all other oxo-biodegradable additives on the market, helping to enhance the ‘green value’ of the brand.

Oxo-biodegradable technology is now mandatory in the United Arab Emirates and several other countries, who know that it is not possible to collect 100% of the plastic waste. They are continuing to use plastic because it is the most cost effective way to protect food and other goods from damage and contamination.

04

A family of masterbatches which offer extra protection to plastic products from bacteria, insects, fungi, algae, odour, fouling and fire.

Designed to combat algae, fungi and bacteria which can cause contamination of food, shoes, cables and a host of other items. Our anti-microbial masterbatch has been successfully tested against over 50 common organisms including dangerous bacteria such as MRSA, E-coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Pseudomonas and Aspergillus Niger.

• Cost effective protection against contamination, infections, staining, discolouration and odours

• Available for food and non-food applications

• Included in the polymer to inhibit the growth of algae, fungi and bacteria.

• It works at conventional processing temperatures, maintaining its effectiveness for long periods and with maximum stability during manufacture, storage and use.

Extra protection

for toys, baby products and

re-usable bags with d

2p anti-bacterial technology

Designed to protect

Flame retardants decrease the ignitability of materials and inhibit the combustion process.

• Reduces flame propagation speed

• Reduces smoke emissions

• Flame retardant materials are obligatory in many applications from automotive materials, cabling, electrical and furnishing products, building and household appliances.

d2Detector plastic analysing device

d2t anti-counterfeiting system

A portable XRF (X-ray) device for analysing plastic products and determining their components including the addition rate of additives. The device is used for quality control and anti-counterfeiting.

For the very first time, commercial users and governments can know immediately (on the spot) what is inside plastic products and whether they have been made correctly.

• Used across Symphony’s worldwide distribution network, protecting commercial end-users from fraud.

• Takes less than 60 seconds to verify that a product has additive inside and in the right amounts.

• Essential tool for enforcement agencies in countries where legislation requires oxo-biodegradable plastic.

• An invaluable tool for quality control and anti-counterfeiting.

Symphony’s d2t masterbatches provide a unique trace that is added to products at the manufacturing stage.

• Provides plastic with a unique identity.

• Added at only 1%, d2trace is compatible with the vast majority of plastics.

• The trace can be easily read using Symphony’s portable d2Detector.

• Field readability allows inspectors to confirm provenance of product without sending to a lab.
