The HEY01 three station thermoforming machine of our company can produce disposable corn starch tableware. The development of corn starch technology is described in detail as follows:
The significance of the development of corn plastic industry is not only reflected in the environment. Taking plants such as corn as raw materials solves the problem that chemical plastics are derived from petroleum and the raw materials are easily exhausted from the source. With plants as raw materials, the terminal decomposition products can still return to nature without harming the surrounding environment. The process of production, use and decomposition constitutes a closed cycle. With the development of the "corn plastic" industry, the added value of corn and other crops will be increased accordingly, which is beneficial to increasing farmers' income.
Corncob powder is suitable for blow molding, thermoplastic and other processing methods. It is easy to process and widely used. PLA itself is an aliphatic polyester, which has the basic characteristics of general polymer materials, and can be used as packaging materials, home appliance shells or degradable fiber materials. PLA can replace part of polyethylene and polypropylene and be widely used in plastic molding. For example: plastic containers, cups, plates, food containers (boxes), liquid containers (bottles, barrels), disposable aviation tableware (knives, spoons, forks, packaging films, plastic bags, foamed plastics (containers, packaging materials), mulch, textiles (clothing, non-woven fabrics), etc. PLA material has good transparency and luster, which is beneficial to display the characteristics of the packed articles. It has good air and water resistance, and is easy to print. Its excellent performance determines that it will occupy an important position in the packaging market.
With the progress of production technology and the improvement of technology, disposable corn starch tableware will be industrialized on a large scale. In a few years, the "white pollution" that plagues people will become history, which should be a great achievement in the development of environmental protection materials industry.
