Polylactic acid [PLA] is also called polylactide. PLA plastic is made from starch raw materials derived from renewable plant resources such as corn and sugar cane. PLA can be decomposed into non-toxic and harmless components such as water and carbon dioxide when it is landfilled. Polylactide is a new type of biodegradable material.
Advantages of polylactic acid?
- Environmentally friendly and degradable. PLA has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use.
- Good physical and mechanical properties. PLA plastic can be used to process various plastic products, packaged food, sanitary products, etc.
- Compatibility and degradability. Polylactide can be used in the production of disposable infusion sets, non-removable surgical sutures, etc., and is widely used in the medical field.
- Good gloss and transparency. Polylactic acid (PLA) is stronger than other biodegradable products, possessing certain strength, transparency and resistance to climate change.
- Excellent antibacterial and anti-mildew properties. PLA plastic film has good air permeability, and can well isolate odors, and viruses and molds are not easy to adhere to.
- Good tensile strength and elongation. PLA has similar forming conditions to widely used polymers, and also has the same printing performance as traditional films, and can be made into a variety of application products.
- Safety. The combustion calorific value of polylactide is the same as that of incinerated paper, and no toxic gases such as nitrides and sulfides will be released.
After years of research and development and exploration, eSUN has established a mature and complete product system, which can provide users with stable and excellent polylactic acid raw materials, modified materials and various products!
