We rarely consider where plastic products are manufactured, such as bottles, toys and containers. It is still crucial to understand the raw materials that are the building blocks for creating these plastic products. Share Raw materials are the basic things and chemicals that are used to make plastic products. Crude oil and natural gas are, deep within the Earth, the primary raw materials for plastics. This raw material must be purer so that the production any plastic form shall not be harmful.
And there is no high quality plastics without raw materials. We also require additional specialised ingredients termed additives to enhance the plastic. Additives are sort of additives that strengthen the polymer and make it modern. These include color, stabilizers, fillers, and plasticizers. Without such components, plastic can be brittle and may not perform well in their end-use applications. For instance, we add plasticizers to make plastic flexible and bendable; photoinhibitors help the plastic from sun damage so it won’t get brittle and decompose over time.
Sustainable sourcing is one of the biggest trends being followed in the plastic industry today. For this reason, companies are working to procure raw materials in an environmentally favorable way. As we know, with global warming and other effects due to climate change, it is crucial to minimize the adverse effects that the plastic production can cause to our planet. The number of these companies that purchase their raw materials from eco-friendly sources is increasing. As an example, at Yuezheng we recognize the emphasis placed on a sustainable source and have prioritized failure on all raw material suppliers with an environmentally friendly and sustainable sourcing policy.
Technology has also given us new and interesting raw materials from which to make plastic. The latest polymer materials have allowed great quality, performance, and cost improvements in plastic products. Biodegradable plastics, for example, are manufactured from materials like cornstarch that can decompose on their own, with no toxic residue. Bio plastics, is produced from their renewable sources such as vegetable oils, is replenish-able and environment friendly. Yuezheng is constantly searching for new everything, raw materials that can be more conducive to our products and innovative ideas that can help us better serve our customers.
Over the years, the raw materials in the plastic sector have changed a lot. Plastics made in the early 1900s were made from natural substances such as rubber and cellulose. But gradually synthetic, man-made plastics have supplanted them. These synthetic materials are responsible for creating things like polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride. Today we have new materials like bio-based plastics and biodegradable plastics that have shaken up the industry in bold ways. With this new raw material, Yuezheng in front of the other venturing into the processing production new opportunities, our products will be highly competitive,
