Symphony Environmental Technologies grows d2p brand

This includes a newly developed anti-mosquito and insecticide masterbatch for plastic packaging and netting designed for markets in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and master-batch color systems for plastic products, which will be traded under the Symphony Environmental brand. 

d2p is a series of anti-fungal and anti-bacterial masterbatches. d2p anti-fungal is a non-silver-based masterbatch designed to combat moulds, fungi, decay organisms, bacteria and algae. d2p anti-bacterial is a silver-based masterbatch designed to provide plastic with anti-bacterial properties.

Symphony Environmental Technologies announced these developments as part of its fourth global conference at its Borehamwood headquarters, which took place May 12-14.  Distributors covering 55 countries attended the three-day event. 

The company also announced the integration of its three research and development, and testing facilities into one new facility at its Borehamwood headquarters, which was formally opened during the conference.  This new facility will provide a more efficient testing and R&D process for the company’s expanding markets and product range. 

The event was held a few days after Symphony Environmental Technologies’ AGM at which the company confirmed a 46 percent increase in revenue compared with the previous year and that deliveries of its oxo-biodegradable additive d2w for a major supermarket group have started. In addition, it has signed a product development agreement with a world-leading brand and is in advanced negotiations with other brands.

d2w is the brand for controlled-life plastic technology which is designed to control and shorten the life of normal plastic products and packaging. d2w is a carefully researched and tested additive formulation which is added to normal plastic at the extrusion or casting stage of manufacture.

Further, trials for new applications for d2w and d2p had been successfully completed.
