Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composition and, more particularly, to a composition for the degradation of plastic.
- plastics include polluting substances that are not biodegradable.
- formulations for environmentally-friendly compositions have been created in the past. None of them, however, use an undercover additive derived from the plastic targeted for degradation, hidden in a chemical cloak synthesized via the same plastic targeted for degradation's polymer structure itself, which is partially dissolved to create a cover for a Nano-programmed chemical addition on the inside. When activated this additive first decomposes the current polymer links between monomers and subsequently supplant them for weaker links susceptible to degradation through water, oxidation and/or anaerobic/aerobic biodegradation.
- composition that is made of a 100% homogeneous blend that leaves no carbon footprint.
- composition to program the degradation time with an inverse factor additive/plastic's mass, whose variation changes the plastic targeted for degradation's obsolescence time-ratio.
- the present invention comprises the following substances: heptane, cellulose, methyl rhenium trioxide, butylated hydroxytoluene, and polyphenol oxidase.
- sample plastic must be partially desynthesized using heptane.
- the resulting mix is then combined at 75% of the sample plastic's melting temperature with a precise measure of cellulose, methyl rhenium trioxide, butylated hydroxytoluene, and polyphenol oxidase.
- the resulting composition is then added as an additive to a predetermined plastic production demand.
- the resulting plastic, homogenized with the additive subject of the present invention, has weaker links susceptible to oxidation, water degradation, and biodegradation.
- the types of plastics that can be treated with the present composition are those with a melting temperature below 500 °C.
- the present invention also works on oil-derived high density polymers.
- the heptane used in the present invention partially breaks the polymer's structure while retaining the physical characteristics of the original plastic taken for sample in the additive composite.
- the present invention then uses cellulose, methyl rhenium trioxide, butylated hydroxytoluene, and polyphenol oxidase to replace those broken links for weaker links that are more susceptible to environmental-degrading elements. Every molecule in the plastic is homogenized with the additive.
- the other ingredients also act to reduce the potency of the heptane so that the plastic degrades over time and not all of a sudden, as heptane has the potential of doing.
- the additive can be programmed to disintegrate the plastic at a predetermined time.
- the obsolescence time is addressed stoichiometrically, and depends on the plastic's density. Each type of plastic has a different obsolescence time, yet relating the density of the plastic with the inverse factor additive/plastic's mass, the obsolescence time can be controlled. A higher factor for a shorter time and a lower factor for a longer time.
- the additive's obsolescence time programmability is given by the following composition:
- SP clients' needs. (0.1 % is equivalent to an inverse factor (additive/plastic's mass) of 1.
- BA equals the final additive. Once BA is created, 0.1 % of the molecular weight of the amount of plastic desired to be produced is added in the form of the additive (BA).
- the above molecular weight percentages disclose the most effective amount known to the applicant. However, each molecular weight percentage can still work in a +/- 5% range, albeit not as effectively.
- the percentage of the molecular weight in cellulose added can be within the range of 90%) and 100%> and still function.
- the percentage of methyl rhenium trioxide can be in the range of 45%>-55%o and function.
- the percentage of butylated hydroxytoluene can be within the range of 10%o-20%o and still function and the percentage of polyphenol oxidase can be within the range of 70%) - 80%o and still function.
- the amount of additive to be added to the amount of plastic sought to be produced can range between 0.09%> and 1%.
- composition subject of the present invention there will be less pollution in the environment from plastic while retaining the original molecular structure, quality, thermo plasticity, and other physical, thermic, and mechanical characteristics.
- the additive composition will have no carbon footprint.
