Profile: Abbey Polythene is a supplier of an extensive range of polythene bags, sacks, tubing and sheeting. We have a wide range of clear bags, printed bags and colored bags. We also manufacture degradable polythene bags and tubing products. They are also available in food grade or anti-static degradable film. The degradable film is fully biodegradable with the addition of heat and light. We use an additive called Polybatchr DEG 68. It is a highly concentrated masterbatch which can be added to polyethylene to catalyze degradation under the influence of sunlight or heat. Films containing this masterbatch can be stored for extended periods away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Upon exposure to sunlight, the degradation reaction will be initiated. It will then continue even in the dark and will be accelerated by heat. Heat alone will also promote the reaction.
