The X-Seal Biodegradable is an eco-friendly plastic security seal designed to biodegrade under industrial composting conditions or at specific landfill sites. Thanks to a special additive, the material breaks down naturally within a few years, without compromising the strength or reliability of the seal. The X-Seal offers the same level of safety as conventional seals and is easy to apply thanks to its smooth tail and robust stainless steel locking mechanism.
Biodegradable through Special Additive
The X-Seal Biodegradable is made from Polypropylene (PP) enhanced with a biodegradable additive that allows microorganisms to decompose the material completely within approximately five years. Without this additive, traditional plastic seals would take centuries to break down. The degradation process occurs only under conditions of high microbial activity, such as in industrial composting facilities. During normal use, the seal remains completely intact and secure.
No Risk of Premature Degradation
The seal retains its strength and functionality throughout use. The biodegradation process only begins when the seal is exposed to specific microbial environments. During transport, storage, or regular use — for example on trucks or IBC containers — the X-Seal Biodegradable remains fully reliable.
A Sustainable Choice for CSR Goals
This biodegradable seal is an excellent option for companies and organizations pursuing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Choosing the X-Seal Biodegradable reduces environmental impact without compromising safety, quality, or performance.
Strong Stainless Steel Locking Mechanism and Smooth Tail
The internal locking mechanism is made of stainless steel with hook-shaped teeth, ensuring the tail can only move in one direction. This makes tampering and reuse impossible. The smooth 2 mm tail slides easily through narrow openings, making sealing quick and efficient.
Strong, Reliable, and Weather-Resistant
The X-Seal Biodegradable combines sustainability with durability. The seal is resistant to harsh weather conditions including UV light, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Its breaking strength is comparable to that of standard seals, making it suitable for demanding applications. Each seal is printed with the text “X-SEAL BIODEGRADABLE.”
Applications
The X-Seal Biodegradable is suitable for a wide range of uses, such as sealing tankers, IBC containers, and transport equipment. Its smooth tail allows for easy application, even in tight or confined spaces.
Unique Marking and Customization
Each seal features a unique imprint and serial numbering, produced only once for guaranteed traceability. The standard version is supplied in pastel green with black laser marking that is permanent and fade-resistant. On request, the seal can be customized with a company name or logo. An optional version with a tear-away strip is also available for easy manual removal.
