What is PBAT? What are its material characteristics and classification applications?
PBAT is a polyester material with complete biodegradability. With its good flexibility and heat resistance, it has become an important representative in the current field of biodegradable plastics. PBAT is synthesized by the esterification reaction of adipic acid and terephthalic acid. Its physical properties are close to those of traditional plastics. It has high strength, excellent transparency and strong tear resistance, meeting diverse application needs.
Its significant advantage is that it can be completely degraded by microorganisms in the natural environment, and eventually decomposed into water, carbon dioxide and biomass, without residue or pollution, solving the problem of traditional plastics existing in soil, water and atmosphere for a long time. The biodegradation process of PBAT conforms to the modern green environmental protection concept and the development direction of circular economy.
According to different specific applications, PBAT is mainly divided into the following categories of products:
Degradable plastic bags: such as shopping bags, express bags, etc., which have the strength and flexibility of traditional plastic bags, and can be naturally degraded after use. They are widely used in the retail and logistics industries to reduce "white pollution".
Food packaging film: used to package fresh food, frozen food and take-out food boxes, ensuring food safety and sealing while achieving environmental degradation.
Garbage bags: Degradable packaging for domestic garbage and kitchen waste, which facilitates garbage classification and subsequent treatment, and reduces the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment.
Why can PBAT products effectively reduce environmental pollution? What are its advantages and application prospects in the industry?
PBAT products can effectively reduce environmental pollution, mainly due to its "complete degradation" characteristics. Traditional plastics have a very long degradation cycle due to their stable chemical structure, resulting in a large amount of plastic waste accumulating in the natural environment, causing land, water and marine pollution, and endangering the ecosystem and human health. PBAT, as a biodegradable plastic, can be decomposed by microorganisms under suitable environmental conditions after use, avoiding the long-term accumulation of plastic pollution.
This feature makes PBAT the preferred material for countries to restrict the use of non-degradable plastics and promote green alternatives. Especially in the packaging industry, PBAT-based plastic bags and films provide consumers and companies with environmentally friendly and efficient alternatives, which not only maintain the functionality of plastic products, but also comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
From the perspective of industrial advantages, PBAT has physical properties close to those of traditional plastics, has good processing adaptability, is compatible with existing plastic manufacturing equipment and processes, and reduces the threshold for industrial transformation. At the same time, the stability and safety of PBAT products meet the standards of food contact materials, expanding its application space in the field of food packaging.
In terms of market demand, with the increase in environmental awareness and policy promotion, the market size of PBAT and other biodegradable plastics continues to expand. The concept of green consumption has spawned more demand for environmentally friendly packaging and disposable products, promoting the rapid popularization of PBAT products.
