On December 26, the designated supplier of polylactic acid (PLA) packaging materials, a biodegradable material for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the AHFY Packaging Material Technology Group invested and constructed a 500,000 tons of lactic acid and 300,000 tons of polylactic acid project officially put into production. It covers an area of 300,000 square meters, with a total investment of 4.88 billion yuan.
The total construction area of the project with an annual output of 500,000 tons of lactic acid is about 170,000 square meters. The new fermentation workshop, extraction workshop, refining workshop and supporting public auxiliary projects will be built. Using glucose as the main raw material, using high-yield lactic acid bacteria and new separation and purification technology, the annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of high-optical pure lactic acid is formed.
The total construction area of the polylactic acid project with an annual output of 300,000 tons is about 120,000 square meters. It uses high-optical pure lactic acid as the main raw material and adopts the independent intellectual property rights of lactide ring-opening polymerization to prepare polylactic acid. Newly build a lactide preparation workshop and polymerization The workshop and supporting public and auxiliary projects will build a polylactic acid production line with an annual output of 300,000 tons to meet the needs of downstream packaging, injection molding, textile, 3D printing and other industries.
After 20 years of technical accumulation and technological innovation, the AHFY polylactic acid material research and development 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.
AHFY has established national innovation platforms such as the National Engineering Research Center for Fermentation Technology, provincial innovation platforms such as the Provincial Polylactic Acid New Material Manufacturing Innovation Center, and has established academician (postdoctoral) workstations, and has formulated 16 national standards and 6 industry standards. A total of 436 invention patents were authorized, which promoted breakthroughs in the core technology of new bio-based materials.
