China's first corn fiber production line will be built in Shaoxing, breaking through traditional packaging methods

[China Food Machinery Equipment Network Local News] It is reported that Zhejiang Xinning Biomaterials Co., Ltd. has successfully developed environmentally friendly and degradable corn fiber with corn as raw material, and will establish the first polylactic acid fiber production line in Shaoxing. This corn fiber can widely replace plastic products made of petroleum, thereby reducing "white pollution." And it has an ultra-high temperature heat resistance of about 230 °C, can be used in engineering plastics, degradable film and other fields, and has great development potential for traditional packaging materials. China's first corn fiber production line will be built in Shaoxing, breaking through traditional packaging methods After more than 4 years of research and development, it has invested more than 20 million yuan. Zhejiang Xinning Biomaterials Co., Ltd. located in Binhai Industrial Zone of Keqiao District has successfully developed environmentally friendly and degradable corn fiber with corn as raw material. “The corn fiber developed by the company can withstand the high temperature of 230 ° C.” Zhu Zhuhua, the person in charge of the company, said yesterday that it can widely replace the plastic products made of petroleum, thus effectively reducing “white pollution”. Corn fiber, also known as polylactic acid fiber (PLA), is a bio-based material that does not use chemical materials such as petroleum at all. Its waste can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water under the action of microorganisms in the soil, and will not pollute the global environment. For a long time, traditional plastic products have gradually evolved into a “white pollution”, and people are calling for green alternatives. In order to realize this dream, in 2013, Xinning Biotech established an innovative team to launch a new polylactic acid project. It also cooperated with Jiangnan University team led by Dr. Yang Yiqi, a “Thousand Talents Program” expert, and took root in the laboratory for 4 years. More than 10,000 yuan for research and development. At the end of 2016, the polylactic acid fiber developed by Xinning Biotech Co., Ltd. can withstand the high temperature of about 230 °C, and overcome the current hard injury of polylactic acid fiber - poor temperature resistance, this performance is better than similar products at home and abroad, The earth has improved the characteristics of polylactic acid and removed the “obstacles” that have been promoted in China. The reporter saw in the workshop of Xinning Biological Company that in the space of nearly 4,000 square meters, it is a trial production workshop of D-lactic acid production line with a scale of 1,000 tons. In the Green Paper on Technological Innovation in the Key Areas of Made in China 2025, polylactic acid fiber is one of the key materials for development. Zhu Zhuhua said that the company plans to establish the first polylactic acid fiber production line in Shaoxing to build a full industrial chain. After industrialization, polylactic acid fiber can be used not only for clothes, but also for engineering plastics, degradable films, etc., to benefit the global environment.
