PLA (Polylactic acid) Biodegradable Straw
PLA straw is extracted from natural crops, like sugarcane, sugar beet, corn starch, etc.
Main types of PLA straw: straight straw, flexible straw, spoon straw, pointed straw, printed straw, artistic straw, etc.
Colors of PLA straw:
natural color creamy white, black, pink, green, yellow, blue and more.
Can be specialized into various colors according to the demand.
Transportation:
Cannot be exposed to the sunlight or rain; Cannot be mixed with harmful and corrosive materials.
Then temperature of the environment during transportation should not exceed 40 degrees.
Storage:
Stored in a ventilated and dry warehouse away from the ground and fire source.
Avoid direct sunlight and not to be stacked in the open air.
The temperature of the environment should not exceed 40 degrees.
The suggestion of best storage conditions are under 75% humidity and temperature between 18℃ to 30 ℃.
The principle of products degradation:
The pathways of product degradation:
Simple Hydrolytic Degradation: Polylactic Acid molecular chains contain ester bonds, which canbe easily broken into carboxylic acids and alcohols under the action of hydrogen ions.
The acid produced in degradation may act as a catalyst in the degradation and lead to an autocatalytic effect.
Composting Degradation: The decomposition rate is faster under high temperature and high humidity(50-55 degrees, humidity is higher than 80%-90%).
Degradation in Nature: Various microorganisms and enzymes can degrade Polyactic Acid in nature.
