Introduction:
Polylactic Acid (PLA) biodegradable straws are a new type of biodegradable straws made from Polylactic Acid (PLA), featuring advantages such as energy saving, reduced hanging, and environmental friendliness. A variety of design styles of PLA straws have been developed, whose appearance and performance are close to traditional products made of polypropylene. The product has good gloss and transparency, along with the advantages of safety, hygiene, environmental protection, and biodegradability. The shelf life is up to 12 months.
Product Description:
Raw Material: Polylactic Acid (extracted from natural crops)
Color: The original color is translucent or light white, which can be specialized into various colors according to requirements.
Shelf Life: 12 months
Transportation: Do not expose to sunlight or rain; do not mix with harmful and corrosive substances. The ambient temperature during transportation should not exceed 40 degrees.
Storage: Store in a ventilated and dry warehouse, away from the ground and fire sources. Avoid direct sunlight and do not stack in open-air environments. The ambient temperature should not exceed 40 degrees Celsius. The recommended optimal storage conditions are a relative humidity below 75% and a temperature between 18 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius.
Product Degradation Principle: Product degradation pathways: Simple hydrolytic degradation: PLA molecular chains contain ester bonds, which can be easily broken into carboxylic acids and alcohols under the action of hydrogen ions. The acid generated during degradation may act as a catalyst, thereby triggering an auto-catalytic effect. Composting degradation: It decomposes faster under high temperature and high humidity (50-55 degrees, humidity higher than 80-90%).
· Natural degradation: Various microorganisms and enzymes can degrade PLA in nature.
