Technological Breakthrough Of Modified PE Film: Thinner, Stronger And Biodegradable in Landfill

Recently, BioNatur Plastics has introduced an innovative modified polyethylene film, maintaining 99% polyethylene, through the patented organic additives significantly improve the film's tensile strength, tear resistance and puncture resistance. The product has been used in the field of logistics pallet packaging and aviation ULD protection.

30% thinner, lower carbon footprint

Compared with the traditional PE film, this modified product can achieve 10% to 30% thickness reduction, while maintaining the same load stability. This means that fewer resins are used per roll, resulting in a lower carbon footprint for production and transport. In the U. S. market, where prices are flat or even slightly lower than traditional plastics, customers can achieve overall cost savings by thinning and reducing the number of packages.

Biodegradation in anaerobic environment

Another core technology of the film is its "anaerobic biodegradation" capability. In the absence of oxygen in landfills, patented additives help anaerobic bacteria break down polymer chains into digestible hydrocarbons. According to ASTM D5511 test standard, the biodegradation rate of the product can reach 99.7% in 1697 days.

Compatible with existing recycling systems

It is important to note that unlike compost or oxygen degradable plastics, this product can enter the recycling stream with normal PE plastics without the need for separate sorting. This means that users can have both "recyclable" and "environmentally degradable" attributes without changing existing recycling habits.

For the fresh-film industry, this technological route shows the evolution of PE materials - not just recyclability, but also reduction and environmental degradation. The maturity of modified additive technology provides a feasible way for the functional upgrading of traditional PE films.
