DOMO Performance Fibres is using Amni Soul Eco® Technology, developed by the Solvay group, produced and distributed by DOMO Performance Fibres, by applying and dispersing specific additives in the polyamide 6.6 matrix to bring an enhanced biodegradability to its fibers while maintaining the standard characteristics of nylon 6.6 such as durability, long life, high tenacity, soft touch and abrasion resistance.
As demonstrated by laboratory biodegradation tests in accordance with ASTM D5511*, fibers using Amni Soul Eco® biodegrades in around 5 years after disposed of properly in landfills, compared to more than 50 years for synthetic fibers in general.
Like other biodegradable products, once it is in the landfill, DOMO Performance Fibres using Amni Soul Eco® technology, breaks down into organic matter (biomass) and biogas; both of these can then be exploited as new environmental resources as well as being used to cogenerate electricity.
Take part in this conference at PCIAW Summit on November 2d at the Hilton London Metropole in London to learn more about our nylon 6.6 fibres with enhanced biodegradability.
*Standard Test Method for Determining Anaerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials Under High-Solids Anaerobic -Digestion Conditions (equivalent to ISO 15985).
