How it Works Addiflex® works in 3 stages Step 1Direct biodegradable components enlarge the surface area of the plastic product for accelerated oxidation. Step 2The additive breaks the molecular chains and reduces the molecular weight to a level which permits micro-organisms access to the hydrocarbons. Step 3Bacteria and fungi consume the material which at this stage is no longer a plastic.
