Oxo-Degradable Catalyst ODC1 is a photo and oxo-degradable or prodegradant degradation promoter which speeds up the photo-oxidative degradation of 3D printed materials in the outdoor environment.
Additions at dosage of 1% by weight to liquid SLA 3D resins promote that 3D printed materials, when introduced to UV/Visible light and heat, begin to break down into smaller fragments.
This technology exhibits an increased ability for photo degradation of 3D printed materials. Once the photo degradation starts the printed resins have a higher susceptibility for microorganisms and bacteria to break them down into smaller and smaller fragments over time.
Oxo-Degradable Catalyst ODC1 has been designed to accelerate the photo-oxidative degradation of 3D printed materials.
The goal of this product line is to develop photo-oxidative degradation catalysts functionalized to react with light for material degradation research.
Oxo-Degradable Catalyst ODC1 promotes photo-oxidative fragmentation; fragmented material may undergo further breakdown by microorganisms over time depending on the disposal environment.
One of the key objectives of 3Dresyns is to design, make and develop functional 3D resins and additives for material degradation research.
