PLA, also known as polylactic acid, is a polyester polymer obtained by polymerizing lactic acid as the main raw material, which is a new type of biodegradable material. Our company provides cosmetic jars made of PLA material, so what are the advantages of using cosmetic jars made of PLA material? In this article, we will talk about it.
Here is the list of contents
Advantages of PLA material
Features of PLA material
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of biodegradable material made from starch raw materials derived from renewable plant resources such as corn. Glucose is obtained by saccharification of starch raw material, and then high purity lactic acid is made by fermentation of glucose and certain strains of bacteria, and then PLA of certain molecular weight is synthesized by chemical synthesis method. It has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use, eventually generating carbon dioxide and water, it does not pollute the environment, which is very beneficial to the protection of the environment and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material. The treatment method of common plastic is still burning and cremation, which causes a large amount of greenhouse gas to be discharged into the air, while PLA plastic is buried in the soil to degrade, and the carbon dioxide produced goes directly into the soil organic matter or is absorbed by plants, which will not be discharged into the air and will not cause the greenhouse effect.
l Good mechanical and physical properties. PLA is suitable for various processing methods such as blow molding, thermoplastic, etc. It is easy to process and very widely used.
l Good compatibility and degradability.
l In addition to the basic properties of biodegradable plastics, PLA also has its own unique characteristics.
l The basic properties of PLA are similar to those of petrochemical synthetic plastics, which means that they can be used in a wide range of applications. PLA also has good gloss and clarity, comparable to films made from polystyrene, that other biodegradable products do not offer.
l PLA has the best tensile strength and ductility, and PLA can be produced in a variety of common processes. For example, melt extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, foam molding and vacuum molding have similar molding conditions to widely used polymers, and it has the same printing properties as conventional films. In addition, it has the same printing properties as conventional films. As a result, PLA can be used in a wide variety of applications to meet the needs of different industries.
l PLA films are breathable, oxygen permeable, and dioxide-permeable, and have odor barrier properties. Viruses and molds tend to adhere to the surface of biodegradable plastics, so there are concerns about safety and hygiene.
l When incinerating PLA, the calorific value of combustion is the same as that of incinerating paper, which is half of that of incinerating traditional plastics (such as polyethylene), and incineration of PLA definitely does not release toxic gases such as nitrogen compounds and sulfides. The human body also contains lactic acid in monomer form, which indicates the safety of this decomposable product.
