It is reported that new wood-based composite material or to replace BPA

: According to local media reports , in the near future , a more secure and environmentally friendly new wood -based composite materials , or will become an alternative to petroleum-based BPA , or even completely replace its application in the plastics field.Sellotape

At the seminar the recent American Chemistry Council (ACS) convened scientists to this new situation and development prospects of the wood -based materials research conducted in-depth discussion.

"BPA is the production of PC ( polycarbonate ) is an important raw material . Adding BPA in plastics manufacturing process can make it colorless, transparent, durable, lightweight and prominent anti-shock resistance and other characteristics. According to statistics, the global annual production of BPA nearly 3.5 million tons , however , the substance also has one of the most controversial plastic material. numerous studies show , BPA harmful to human health impact . " Tara graduate of representatives from the state Kaleigh Reno said in a speech .Masking tape


In the process of the development of BPA substitute , Dr. Kaleigh Reno and mentor Richard Wool targeting raw materials in the wood . Compared with conventional hydrocarbons , wood is a complex hydrocarbons , and containing an aromatic ring .

For ease of preparation , Reno invented a special conversion process can convert wood chips are a composite material called BGF . The new material with BPA and its similar shape and internal structure . Reno and Wool agreed that the matter is that they have been looking for BPA substitutes .Washi tape


"We will use the one-year time -depth study of the BGF , the facts show BGF have the same environment-friendly nature of BPA , but harmless ." Wool said in an interview with reporters .

Meanwhile , Reno said that if the accident , BGF or the official market in 2-5 years for commercial mass production.Wholesale masking tape
