Material ratio 1

PLA+PBAT

PLA+PBAT blended materials can be completely decomposed into water and carbon dioxide within 3-6 months under composting conditions (60-70 degrees), without causing any pollution to the environment.

Material Features

Biodegradability

PLA+PBAT can be decomposed in the natural environment, and the substances produced after degradation are harmless to the environment. This feature makes it an environmentally friendly material, especially suitable for application scenarios that require degradation performance.

Good plasticity

PLA+PBAT has good plasticity and can be processed into products of different shapes through injection molding, blow molding, extrusion and other processes.

Oil resistance

PLA+PBAT has good oil and fat resistance, and is suitable for food containers and packaging materials. This makes it have broad application prospects in the field of food packaging and container manufacturing.

Poor heat resistance

PLA+PBAT has poor heat resistance and is not suitable for products in high temperature environments. Therefore, its heat resistance limitation needs to be considered when using it.

Material Disadvantages

Short shelf life,one year

Poor thermal stability:

PLA has a low heat deformation temperature, usually around 55-60°C, so it is not suitable for high-temperature applications. This limits its application in products that need to withstand high-temperature environments.

Degradation rate is too fast:

Although biodegradability is an advantage of this material, in some cases, degradation rate can become a problem. For example, in some applications that need to maintain integrity for a long time, such as packaging materials or containers, too fast degradation rate may cause the product to fail prematurely.

High production cost:

Due to the relatively complex production process of PLA and PBAT, as well as the cost of purification and processing of corn starch, the production cost of this biodegradable material is generally high. This makes it less competitive in some cost-sensitive applications.

Poor water vapor barrier performance:

PLA and PBAT have poor barrier properties to water vapor, which can easily cause moisture or deterioration inside the product. This limits their use in applications that require good water vapor barrier properties.

Sensitive to environmental conditions:

PLA and PBAT are sensitive to ultraviolet rays and humid environments, and are prone to degradation under these environmental conditions. This may limit their application in certain outdoor or humid environments.

Application Product Direction

Packaging materials

PLA+PBAT is very suitable for packaging materials due to its good biodegradability, oil resistance and plasticity. It can be made into packaging boxes, bags, trays, etc. of various shapes for packaging of food, daily necessities, etc. At the same time, PLA+PBAT materials can also adjust their gas selective permeability according to demand, so that they have excellent barrier properties, thereby effectively protecting the quality of the packaging contents.

Food containers

PLA+PBAT is suitable for making food containers such as tableware and lunch boxes due to its good oil resistance. Compared with traditional plastic containers, PLA+PBAT containers are more environmentally friendly and can be naturally degraded to reduce the impact on the environment.

Medical supplies

PLA+PBAT also has broad application prospects in the field of medical supplies. It can be made into medical masks, surgical gowns, gloves, etc., with good biocompatibility and degradability, which can reduce the pollution of medical waste to the environment.

Disposable products

PLA+PBAT can also be used to make disposable products such as straws, tableware, cups, etc. These products can be naturally degraded after use, reducing the demand for landfills and incinerators, and helping to reduce environmental pollution.

Material ratio 2

PLA+PBAT+Corn Starch (orange straw, wood powder)

The pellets are often milky white, have a natural corn aroma, are easily decomposed by microorganisms, are naturally antistatic, have good coloring properties, and can be directly processed on ordinary injection molding machines into various toys, stationery, knives, forks, chopsticks, seedling cups, trays and other injection molded products.

Material Features

Biodegradability

PLA and PBAT are both biodegradable polyesters, while corn starch is a natural renewable resource with good biocompatibility. Therefore, this composite material can be decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment, which helps to reduce environmental pollution.

Environmental protection

This material is derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch, with low carbon emissions and environmental impact. In addition, its biodegradability also helps to reduce the long-term impact of plastic waste on the environment.

Mechanical properties

Both PLA and PBAT have certain mechanical strength, and the addition of corn starch may affect their mechanical properties. The specific mechanical properties depend on the ratio of these components and the processing technology.

Processing performance

Both PLA and PBAT have good processing performance and can be thermoplastic processed on plastic processing equipment. The addition of corn starch may affect its processing performance, but it may also be improved by optimizing the formulation and processing technology.

Cost

The cost of this material may be affected by factors such as raw material prices, production processes and market demand. Corn starch, as a relatively cheap raw material, may help reduce the cost of this material.

Material Disadvantages

The shelf life is short,one year, and water and oil may appear. Although PLA+PBAT+corn starch material has biodegradability and renewable characteristics.

Poor thermal stability:

PLA has a low heat deformation temperature, usually around 55-60°C, so it is not suitable for high-temperature applications. This limits its application in products that need to withstand high-temperature environments.

Degradation rate is too fast:

Although biodegradability is an advantage of this material, in some cases, degradation rate can become a problem. For example, in some applications that need to maintain integrity for a long time, such as packaging materials or containers, too fast degradation rate may cause the product to fail prematurely.

Material ratio 3

PLA+PBAT+Calcium Carbonate

Calcium carbonate filling biodegradable plastics can accelerate the degradation of biodegradable plastics. At the same time, calcium carbonate can be directly used as a carbon source by some inorganic nutrient microorganisms. The organic acids produced by microorganisms when they are active in the soil, as well as the nitric acid and sulfuric acid produced by nitrifying bacteria and sulfidizing bacteria can further increase the solubility of calcium carbonate.

Material Features

PLA+PBAT+calcium carbonate composite material combines the advantages of PLA and PBAT, and has good mechanical properties, processing properties and biodegradability. At the same time, the addition of calcium carbonate can improve the rigidity and heat resistance of the composite material. This makes the composite material have unique advantages in some application scenarios
