A safety guard system and deactivation device for protection of an operator of a garment press. The biodegradable resin composition comprises a biodegradable polyester resin, a phyllosilicate, and at least one of a polyether phosphate compound, a polar wax and jojoba oil. Some oxychlorination catalyst compositions and processes disclosed herein can increase the optimal operating temperature, and thereby increase the production capacity of an existing reactor, such as a fluid-bed reactor, compared to other oxychlorination catalyst compositions.
