Plant-based bio-plastics
as a help to
ease tensions and oil
resources of the
new material to
prevent global warming and concern. Currently, bioplastics have achieved the same performance with petroleum-based plastics in food packaging containers, films and fibers such as expanding the use of the field.
Compared with food packaging containers, electronics and other durable products using bioplastics progress has been slow, because electronic products in the durability performance requirements more stringent due. In the past the company had competing products such as mobile phones and personal computers using bioplastics, but recently they rarely hear examples of using bioplastics. Recently, the performance of bioplastics has rapidly increased. Polylactic acid-based bioplastics in scratch resistance, light resistance and antibacterial activity have reached the higher levels of conventional petroleum-based plastics. Among them, aluminum hydroxide as a flame retardant added possess high hardness and scratch resistance of making a great contribution.
Moreover, in order
to respond to
future food
problems, bioplastics consumption of raw materials from the raw materials to non-food raw materials. Use the promising non-food raw materials - cellulose manufacturing bioplastics research is currently already had results. Cellulose-based bioplastics in heat resistance and bending characteristics are also other aspects than petroleum plastics. Costs, can significantly reduce the energy needed for the production of research is also underway.
Japanese paper companies have excellent cellulose production technology and production equipment. Other causes of IT declining demand for paper, but you can put these techniques and equipment used in the bioplastics on.
After features and cost improvements, bioplastics are used more and more opportunities.
