50mic Core-based Transparent Biodegradable PLA Shrink Sleeve Labels Film For Bottles

1. Introduction

PLA is a biodegradable plastic produced from renewable resources. For this reason, it is more environmentally friendly than most alternatives. It tends to be more expensive than most conventional shrink labels. Shrink results tend to be less repeatable than with petroleum-based polymers, meaning a more robust process is necessary.

5. Advantages of PLA

One of the major advantages of PLA is its biodegradable nature and the sustainable process by which it is made, making it the environmentally friendly choice of plastic. Under the right circumstances, PLA can break down into its natural elements in less than a month in contrast to the centuries it will take for traditional plastics to decompose.

The process by which PLA Is made is also more environment-friendly.

PLA is a thermoplastic, meaning it will turn into a liquid in its melting point of 150 to 160 Celsius. A nifty feature of thermoplastics is that they can be heated, set upon cooling, and reheated again to form other shapes without any degradation. In contrast, a thermosetting plastic (such as epoxy or melamine) can only be heated and molded once, but the resulting product can no longer be reheated as it will just burn. This property of PLA makes it a desirable material for recycling.

PLA can be broken down to its original monomers by a thermal de-polymerization process or by hydrolysis. The resulting monomer solution can be purified and used for subsequent PLA production without any loss of quality. Should a material made from PLA be incinerated, no toxic fumes will be generated.

HUBEI HYF PACKAGAING CO., LTD. is a professional manufacturer and sales of shrink film and other package materials since 2005, located in China "Optics Valley" - Wuhan City.

HYF PACKAGING started to produce PETG (PET) shrink film since 2011, and introduced TWO automated film production lines from Germany (BRUCKNER) with production Capacity of 12,000 tons per year.

Our PETG (PET) shrink film shrink film is a new type of green plastic packaging material with an ultimate shrinkage rate of over 70%, especially used in high-performance monoaxial and biaxial stretch shrink film. PETG shrink film shows such characteristics as high controllable shrink ability, high transparency, high gloss, high strength of extension, low haze, low natural shrinkage, and excellent print performance. What's more, it is safe, recyclable, renewable

and environmentally friendly, conforming to the international standard of environmental production.

Also,  now HYF PACKAGE has owned many PVC blown machines with production capacity of 8,000 tons per year, and the products has been exported to southeast Asia, Middle East , Europe, Africa and United States, and the quality and technology of our products is highly recommended by our global customers

We are in line with "quality innovation to win the market, the good faith management cast the future." philosophy, rigorous and meticulous work style, high cost-effective products, try our best to build up domestic packaging materials of the first-class brand.
