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.Wholesale masking tape

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.Sellotape
