2. Core production method of cling film
1.Traditional PE cling film raw material ratio(Factory production standard reference):
| Material | Proportion | function |
|---|---|---|
| low density polyethylene | 92% | Film forming basis |
| Plasticizer | 5% | Enhance ductility |
| Antioxidants | 3% | Extend shelf life |
2.Homemade eco-friendly alternatives:
•Beeswax cotton style: It is necessary to prepare organic beeswax (50g), pine resin (10g), and cotton cloth (30×30cm), heat them in an oven at 60°C, fuse them, and then dry them.
•starch based film: Potato starch (100g), glycerin (15ml), water (200ml) are mixed and boiled, flattened and dried to form a degradable film.
3. Comparison of performance of plastic wrap of different materials
| Type | heat resistance | Breathability | degradation cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| PE cling film | 110℃ | low | More than 200 years |
| beeswax plastic wrap | 60℃ | in | 6-12 months |
