What is Plastonix’s flagship discovery?

Plastonix discovered the common denominator of all plastics allowing them to naturally bind together. Through multiple tests within a lab environment, Plastonix researchers found a way to bind one or more petroleum-derived materials together at one time – even hard-to-recycle plastics. Petroleum-derived materials include materials naturally occurring in petroleum such as paraffin wax, and materials synthetically derived from petrochemicals.

If you are familiar with the petroleum industry, you might already be aware there are binding agents within the industry. What our researchers discovered was a completely different type of binding agent – a binder that literally binds any type of petroleum-derived material together through a process called agglomeration. Agglomeration is a natural phenomenon in which solid particles collect in a mass and stick together in a contiguous manner. A binder or binding agent is any material or substance that holds or draws other materials together to form a cohesive whole mechanically or chemically by adhesion or cohesion. Furthermore, as our binding agent was a special plant-based ingredient known as Transformix, we realized that not only had we discovered a binding agent, but we had discovered a bio-based binding agent. Bio-based binding agents are defined as being produced from renewable plant-based resources, which means they are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable. In order to differentiate the uniqueness of the Transformix binding agent from other binders, we call it a natural, bio-based, advanced, adhesive binding agent for petroleum derived materials.
