On August 14, AHFY Polylactic Acid Technology Group, located in the Economic Development Zone, successfully rolled off the finished product of polylactic acid particles.
With the smooth production of crystal clear, rice-sized polylactic acid particles, it marks the realization of mass production of China's first polylactic acid production line in the whole industry chain.
After nearly two decades of concentrated research and development, the AHFY polylactic acid new material research team has fully mastered the entire industry from corn to lactic acid, to the fermentation, extraction, and polymerization of polylactic acid, and downstream polylactic acid fiber and polylactic acid plastic product manufacturing. Chain production technology. The entire polylactic acid production line of the entire industry chain with independent innovation has been opened up.
The trial production started on June 6th of this year. After more than two months of production and debugging, the first batch of products officially went offline at 2 pm on August 14. This is also China's first full-industrial polylactic acid production line to achieve mass production. Li Yuan, general manager of AHFY, said: "After several days of production and debugging, the quality of the product has been continuously improved and has reached the international first-class standard.
The raw material of lactic acid is corn. As a bio-based material, it has good thermal stability and can be processed in a variety of ways. In addition to being biodegradable, products made of polylactic acid have good biocompatibility, gloss, transparency, hand feel and heat resistance. At the same time, it also has a certain degree of bacteria resistance, flame retardancy and UV resistance, and has the characteristics of green, safety and environmental protection. Therefore, polylactic acid has a wide range of uses and can be used as a raw material for daily necessities such as shopping bags, clothing, tableware, medical products, and engineering supplies. "These polylactic acid products can completely replace petrochemical fibers and chemical plastic products. The polylactic acid industry is a promising sunrise industry.
At present, the construction of the second phase of the company's polylactic acid project has also started. It is expected that by 2022, polylactic acid will reach an annual output of 1 million tons.
