Five of your top concerns about wheat fiber products

1. Hygienic Safety of wheat fiber material

The wheat fiber material used by Haixing Plastic&Rubber Co. is a thermoplastic biomass plastic made of Wheat / Rice stalks or Rice husks as biomass components and compounded with food-grade polypropylene, the fiber plants material should be made from non-pesticide materials, and should be air-selected to remove impurities, dried and dehydrated, de-caramelized, and sterilized at high temperature. No toxic or harmful chemicals are added to the formula, to ensure that the final composite meets the requirements of food contact level materials such as GB 4806.7, including its natural wheat flavor has passed the VOC volatile safety test and can be used as food contact level materials with confidence.

According to the different national health inspection requirements, wheat fiber plastic products meet the domestic health inspection requirements, in line with the FDA and LFGB inspection requirements.

2. Applications and exports of materials

At present, wheat fiber plastic used by Haixing Plastic&Rubber Co. is mainly used in disposable tableware, daily tableware, storage containers, disposable hotel supplies, kitchen supplies, sanitary ware, stationery, toys, garden flowerpots, small and medium-sized electrical shell and so on. The material is mainly used in domestic, a small number of exports in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe and the United States. SIMILAR INJECTION GRADE FIBER PLANTS COMPOSITES (such as wheat fiber, Rice Husk, wood fiber, etc.) are available worldwide in Korea, Japan and Germany.

3. Bacterial propagation characteristics of material

According to our comparative test of the antibacterial activity of polypropylene and wheat fiber plastics, the antibacterial activity is the same (for E. Coli and Staphylococcus aureus), and there is no significant difference, Haixing Plastic&Rubber Co. can also provide high bacteriostatic wheat fiber plastic products (customized formula), the bacteriostatic rate can reach 99.9%.

4. Impact strength

The tensile strength of wheat fiber plastic is about 24 MPA, the Modulus of bend and the strength of Bend are 2100 MPA and 45 MPA, respectively, and the impact strength is about 15 KJ / M2. So its products in do drop test, the probability of burst PP is greater, but also depends on the specific product structure and thickness.

5. Degradation

WHEAT-BASED CELLULOSIC plastics are not biodegradable because of the use of polypropylene in their resin components (100 percent biodegradation in the strict sense, requiring any component of the material greater than 1 percent to be biodegradable). Its environmental significance lies in its use of renewable plant resources to partially replace non-renewable petroleum-based resources, which has the advantage of the reduction in the utilization of resources; Therefore, it has low carbon benefit. If the customer requires biodegradable wheat fiber plastics, the resin composition shall be replaced with biodegradable resins, and all additives shall be low molecular weight or degradable materials, this type of material Haixing Plastic&rubber Co. can also provide customization, material costs will increase, physical properties have changed, this type of material is not currently used in mass production.
