SKYGREEN is a series of aliphatic polyester and aliphatic/aromatic copolyester that is degraded into water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms SKYGREEN, biodegradable thermoplastics, has been developed on the basis of the SK Chemicals polyethylene terephthalate (PET) technology. There is no other chemical linkage than ester in its molecular structure. SkyGreen fully degrades into CO2 and H2O via hydrolysis mechanism. Within 45 days, the polymer degrades completely in the composting condition. Information provided by SK Chemicals |
