A few days ago, XMCS Advanced Materials Technology Group announced that the company's self-developed bio-based membrane material BOPLA has achieved mass production. The product uses the biodegradable material polylactic acid (PLA) as the raw material, through formula and process innovation, and the use of biaxial stretching technology to obtain a biodegradable biaxially stretched film.
This product is China's first commercially produced bio-based biodegradable biaxially oriented film. Since the raw material comes from bio-based, it has a significant effect in reducing carbon, and carbon emissions are reduced by more than 68% compared with traditional fossil-based plastics. The biaxial stretching process can greatly improve the mechanical properties of PLA film and further expand its application fields. It can be used as packaging materials in food, electronic products, books and other fields, as well as tapes and other packaging materials. It has a wide range of packaging reduction, environmental protection and carbon reduction. Positive meaning.
PLA is an environmentally friendly material of 100% biodegradable and 100% bio-based sources. In the case of industrial composting, it can be completely degraded within half a year and is known as the "ideal material". Although PLA has been mass- produced for more than 20 years, it has been widely used in many fields.
Professor Guo Baohua, director of the Institute of Polymer Research at Tsinghua University, said that as a fully biodegradable material, polylactic acid (PLA) controls the molecular weight and distribution of PLA, appropriate molecular chain structure, material formulation research and development, film structure design, and stretching process. It is the key and difficult point to successfully develop BOPLA.
XMCS is a technology company focusing on biaxial stretching technology, and is also the world's largest supplier of functional membrane materials BOPA (biaxially oriented nylon). XMCS has been deeply involved in the field of biaxial stretching technology for many years, has first-class production equipment and R&D and manufacturing team, has rich industrialization experience, and relies on the parent company Zhonglun New Materials to drive the membrane material industry ecology with material technology innovation, which is the Foundation of successful research and development of BOPLA.
