An effective solution to the various opportunities in rolling goods, healthcare, industrial and consumer applications.
This article highlights the first two articles in which fused PLA non-woven materials can play an important role in driving industry development and innovation.
Meltblown PLA provides value-
The global commercial efforts of NatureWorks and its ingeorplatform platform highlight the advantages of the PLA.
This sustainable bio-polymer comes from renewable energy sources; end-
Products can be degraded and biodegradable from PLA.
It has a lower biological load compared to other materials such as recycled pulp.
This low biological load profile eliminates any hot drying required to destroy microorganisms, allowing for \"cleaner\" and fewer processes --
Strengthen manufacturing methods compared to traditional alternatives such as pulp.
Most importantly, especially in healthcare applications, PLA has a very attractive biological compatibility, and it has absorbed and safe toxicity compared to synthetic fibers.
The PLA itself is attractive, but when used during the meltblown process, it opens up a niche for non-woven materials.
Since the fiber diameter is lower than other processes and can be combined with other materials such as Laminated Composites, it provides an accessible platform for innovation.
Compared with oil, the crystalline dynamics of PLAnonwovens are different
Due to the processing parameters with higher pressure and extrusion temperature within the controlled process window, polymer-based.
However, the industry leader has completed the initial study plan.
Using a careful and controlled approach, the PLA can be within the temperature range--
A process called \"calender.
\"The extension and uniform exposure to hot air can be rendered with a smooth film Non-woven-
Just as the surface still has gaps in fluid and moisture.
If done correctly, the non-woven PLA material can be rendered so that it is represented as a surface film with specific tensile properties.
The smooth and smooth surface of PLA fiber looks like a commercial product, but has very different mechanical properties.
By adjusting the heat used for calendar materials and the engraving roller that can place holes on the film, the hole rate can be controlled (
With PLA fiber diameter, density and Attic).
The upper light can be applied either as a whole surface treatment or as a variable/area.
Calenderingprocess eliminates the need for separate films and minimizes the need for additional lamination and processing work.
The properties of PLA can be used by co-
Polymer, masterbatch additives and/or plasticizer, lubricants and other processing aids.
Advantages include smooth surface texture and special Cross
Part of the fiber, providing a high surface area with medium tensile strength for soft and sturdy properties.
Additional services provided by companies including Techmere and Polyvel provide a range of possibilities for investigation and implementation. Other co-
Polymerscan has auxiliary properties, such as polyhexyl ester, which is a commonly used removable polymer in medical implants, which improves flexibility to offset the sometimes brittle properties of PLA.
Metabolix provides Mirador ester (PHAs)
As a performance additive, the fiber can be extruded through the fusion spray process, when integrated into a total
The polymer then presents the specific properties to on-woven material.
Metabolix reports that its proprietary platform is capable of creating specialty bio-polymers for construction and packaging materials as well as a range of applications such as industrial, consumer and personal care products.
Another benefit of increasing the value of antibacterial drugs PLA is the ability to combine antibacterial drugs and antibacterial drugs into the actual fibers of non-woven fabrics.
Agents can be added to the fusion fiber at different stages of the manufacturing process, not only can the cost be generated
Effective products, but also products with necessary effects.
These drugs can be soaked, sprayed or deposited to spread antibacterial and antibacterial drugs between fibers.
Antibacterial agents specially selected by kebenong-
Leaching, multiple components of a specific efficacy map
Meet the requirements through controlled releases to ensure the performance of the end product throughout its life cycle.
There are so many types of antimicrobial agents that non-woven manufacturers have a lot of options in adding value to their materials.
Silverion, for example-
Based on the reagent including compounds containing silver, as part of the structure, these compounds can be called \"charge-
Transfer \"complexes, including cage-like compounds involving silver or silver species as part of the structure. Silver ion-
The agents at the headquarters also include silver orsilver-
Contains species that exist due to the adsorption process, both chemical and physical.
In order to achieve absorption or adsorption, the adsorption surface can be a molecular, polymer, organic or inorganic entity.
These features are naturally suitable for health care applications such as advanced woundcare dressings. Non-silver and non-silver ion-
The base reagent is zinc, copper, titanium, magnesium, diammonium and silicon (

Cadmium, mercury, duguanin, Amine, glycomin, dicin, Tri-carbon and Tri-chlorine powder.
Depending on the final application from sanitizing wipes to sporting goods, these drugs provide an attractive cost
The manufacturer\'s benefit ratio.
With this range of possibilities, PLA Melt-sprayed non-woven materials with specific physical and chemical properties offer an innovative approach to the current and new markets.
An example of chemistry-
Roll-based products manufactured by fused PLA are selected sachets from selective micro-technology (SMT).
The company has developed many products for health care and food safety, including bags that pack a certain amount of dry carbon dioxide chemicals with non-woven rolls.
End users can create disinfection solutions with specific concentrations to disinfect healthcare and pre-food environments simply by putting them in the water, so the volume must have predictable air hole rates.
Because these products are transported and stored in hot and humid environments, they must keep the shelves stable.
The company\'s customers say they prefer a product made of sustainable bio-polymers.
The company works closely with Biovation, which has conducted a large number of experiments on its fused-jet non-woven production line and tested PLA of different grades.
Nice bio update too
The process has been adjusted so that the final material can work on the conversion and packaging line of SMT, including during the heating processsealingprocess.
The final result is
PLA materials that can be operated through high
Fast manufacturing production lines, can withstand the heat required to make strong seams without affecting chemicals, and can be installed without waste. (See Figure 1. )
This collaborative approach with the end customer in the development of highly designed, advanced full-scale
Durable, easy to use on the production line, more economical PLA bio-polymer convolution than previously thought.
One industry that may rely most on collaboration to eliminate risks and comply with numerous regulations is healthcare.
Despite the large global market dynamics, this is an attractive challenge space for PLA non-woven fabrics.
In health care
The infection control market is an immature market segment.
Young companies like MedTextra and PurThread are doing innovative work.
In the range of infection control, barrier non-antibacterial materials have established value, providing the next step by combining active antibacterial drugs with non-woven fabrics
Opportunity.
By integrating them-
They can provide value as part of a single manufacturing business-
For the FDA category 510 k 2 products, it helps the health and safety of patients.
Continue to focus on reducing Bulls
The word cost of health care, combined with incentives provided to providers, creates a cross between non-woven fabric capabilities and the market --Intention of adoption.
Finally, as market dynamics force people to responsibly discard medical waste, products that reduce the burden on landfill waste create a role for PLA Melt-spraying materials.
One of the benefits of PLA fuse in the healthcare market is Biovation\'s BioArmour blood pressure cuff cover.
This one-time, non-
