PLA injection molding material is used for injection molding PLA biodegradable material.PLA is a biodegradable plastic made by polymerizing lactic acid produced from biomass raw materials of renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane through a fermentation process. Due to its good biophase degradability and nature-derived properties, PLA is considered to be one of the effective ways to solve the environmental pollution problems caused by traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Features
- Environmentally friendly: PLA is made from plant resources and has good biodegradation properties. It can be completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water under specific conditions, which is friendly to the environment.
- High transparency: Compared with many other types of bioplastics, untreated PLA materials inherently have a high degree of transparency.
- Moderate mechanical strength: Although PLA is not as tough as some traditional synthetic plastics, it can be modified to obtain better mechanical properties to meet the needs of a variety of applications.
- Low processing temperature: Compared to common plastics such as PET, PLA has a lower melting point, which makes it require less energy in the injection molding process, thus reducing energy consumption.
- Good barrier performance: it has a certain barrier effect on oxygen, water vapor, etc., which is suitable for food packaging and other fields.
Application
- food packaging: the use of its good gas barrier and transparency, PLA is often used to manufacture disposable tableware, beverage bottle caps, cling film and other products. 2. medical supplies: in view of its biological barrier to water vapor, thus reducing energy consumption.
- medical supplies: in view of its biocompatibility and absorbability, PLA is also used in surgical sutures, drug release carriers, etc. 3. textile fibers: through a special process, PLA is used in the manufacture of food packaging.
- textile fibers: through a special process, PLA can also be made into fibrous materials for the production of clothing, carpets and other daily necessities.
- electronic appliances shell: with the progress of technology, there are now some small electronic products began to try to use PLA as a shell material, in order to reduce the impact on the environment.
- Toy manufacturing: Considering the safety of children, more and more toy manufacturers tend to choose this non-toxic and easy to recycle material to make toys.
