Increased Performance of Thermoplastic Packaging Materials by Using a Mild Oxidizing Biobased Additive

Green additives such as prodegradants based on natural fatty acids and iron can improve the environmental profile of thermoplastic packaging materials. We present two studies in which this is demonstrated. In the first study, the addition of a green prodegradant to a 5-layer gas barrier laminate dur...
