Credentials
d2w® plastics have been extensively tested and proven by independent test laboratories.
Packaging and plastics professionals will be aware of the almost infinite permutations of base polymer resins and additives as well as production processes. Clearly, it is impossible for every combination to be tested separately and for this reason users are encouraged to undertake their own testing and verification. This is particularly important in the case of use in direct food contact where users must satisfy themselves of product suitability. Symphony are happy to provide assistance and advice within the limits of our own experience.
Product development is taking place all the time and confirmation of degradability is incorporated in the course of routine quality control procedures.
Some information on tests undertaken in the United Kingdom is provided here and further local test results can be found on the web sites of our international distributor network.
Health & Safety Data Sheets
The COSHH Safety Data Sheets on the links below include the new formulation additive being introduced from April 2006. This new range of additives can be identified by having a numerical product code (e.g. 502538 or 93224) rather than an alpha code (e.g. 2EM or 2MM)
