Starch-Based Plastic

Jiangsu Jinhe is a manufacturer and supplier in China, providing starch-based plastics for wholesale. Starch-based plastics are chemically modified by chemical reactions to reduce the hydroxyl groups of starch and change its original structure, thereby changing the corresponding properties of starch and turning the original starch into thermoplastic starch.

Starch is a high-molecular carbohydrate, which is polymerized by glucose molecules. It has the advantages of abundant sources, low prices, renewable and completely degradable. Starch is a natural polymer second only to cellulose in production on earth. It is abundant, renewable and cheap. It can be used to produce starch-based plastics through modified plasticization. As an important category of bio-based materials, starch-based plastics have been successfully industrialized and applied. Starch-based plastics are a kind of plastic product made of starch as the main raw material, which is modified and plasticized and then blended with other polymers. It is a kind of bioplastic.

Advantages of starch-based plastics

Starch-based biodegradable plastics are prone to rapid degradation at high temperatures. Therefore, the processing temperature of biodegradable plastics based on starch is usually below 150°C, while the processing temperature of general polyolefin plastics is mostly around 200°C. Based on this calculation, the processing energy consumption of biodegradable plastics with the same output is significantly lower than that of ordinary plastics. This biodegradable material will play an important role in promoting a low-carbon economy.

Jiangsu Jinhe focuses on the research and development, production, sales and service of coffee grounds plastic, bamboo fiber plastic, straw fiber plastic, etc. If you are interested in bio-based plastic products, please feel free to contact us.
