What are the main advantages of mineral powder filling modification in biodegradable plastic modification production lines?
Cost reduction: As a relatively cheap filler material, mineral powder can significantly reduce the amount of polymer resin used in biodegradable plastics, thereby directly reducing production costs. This is of great significance for promoting the large-scale application and market popularization of biodegradable plastics.
Performance enhancement: Although mineral powder itself is not biodegradable as an inorganic substance, adding an appropriate amount can significantly improve some physical properties of biodegradable plastics, such as hardness, heat resistance, dimensional stability and flame retardancy. Improvements in these properties will help expand the application areas of biodegradable plastics, especially in areas with higher requirements for material performance.
Environmentally friendly: Choosing appropriate mineral powder as filling material can ensure the environmental friendliness of the entire modification process and the final product. Some mineral powders, such as calcium carbonate and talc, are non-toxic and harmless, easy to obtain and process, and will not cause additional burden on the ecological environment.
Improved processing performance: The addition of mineral powder may also improve the processing performance of biodegradable plastics, such as increasing melt strength, reducing melt viscosity, etc., making the material more stable during processing such as extrusion and injection molding, and reducing energy consumption during processing. consumption and scrap rates.
Recyclability: Although the main advantage of biodegradable plastics is their degradability, recycling is also a viable option in certain applications. Biodegradable plastics modified by mineral powder filling may show better physical property retention during the recycling process, which is beneficial to improving the reuse value of recycled materials.
Customization capabilities: By adjusting parameters such as the type, particle size, and amount of mineral powder, the performance of biodegradable plastics can be precisely controlled to meet the specific needs for material performance in different fields and application scenarios.
Mineral powder filling modification has significant cost advantages, performance enhancement effects, environmental friendliness, processing performance improvement capabilities and customization capabilities in the biodegradable plastic modification production line. It is an important technology to promote the development of the biodegradable plastic industry.
