To address these challenges, ongoing research is focusing on optimizing the formulation and application of cationic polymers. Innovations in polymer chemistry may yield new biodegradable and more effective cationic polymers, enhancing their performance in various water treatment scenarios.
Biodegradable masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of additives formulated to promote the biodegradation of plastic materials. It is composed of a carrier resin—often a type of polymer—mixed with biodegradable additives that facilitate the breakdown of the plastic when exposed to natural environmental conditions, such as moisture, heat, and microbial activity. This process significantly reduces the longevity of plastic waste in landfills and oceans, providing a more eco-friendly option for industries reliant on plastic packaging and products.
