Jiangsu company uses CO2 to make biodegradable plastic

At present, Jiangsu Jinlong Green Chemical Co., Ltd. has taken carbon dioxide as the raw material for production of aliphatic polyethylene carbonate and based on the degradation of polyurethane foam products attracted attention.

Using the company's technology, about 3 tons of aliphatic polyethylene carbonate resin can be produced for every 1 ton of carbon dioxide consumed, and about 6 tons of degradable polyurethane foam can be produced. The performance of this product is excellent. According to the determination by the Chinese Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the aerobic biodegradation rate is as high as 33% in 30 days, and the strength and modulus are high, and the flame retardant performance is good. It can not only replace ordinary packaging materials and heat insulation materials for construction in the market, but also can be used as a packaging material with high electrical and environmental protection requirements.
