Testing and Results

We have conducted extensive tests under laboratory conditions that significantly accelerates the ageing process. Tests were carried out using a polypropylene sheet containing our special additive and placed in an ageing cabinet subjected to constant UV light and heat.

Biodegradable sample remained stable for approximately 140 hours after which it rapidly oxidized to embrittlement at around 340 hours.

Under natural conditions, we can suggest that ageing for 12 hour days at a constant temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit would result in a 3 month dwell time followed by degradation to embrittlement in a further 4 to 6 months.

The time period can be adjusted by varying the amount of additive used.
