Cellophane bags made from regenerated cellulose film, changing lives

Cellulose 1833 was discovered in the year. It is a substance located within the plant cell walls. It is composed of long chains of glucose molecules, making it a polysaccharide. When several cellulose chains are hydrogen-bonded together, a substance called microfibril is formed, which is very inflexible and tough. The rigidity of these microfibrils makes cellulose Packaging bags In production Newly rising Excellent Environmental protection products 。

Regenerated Cellulose packaging Bags Usually cellophane （ cellulose film ） a transparent, thin, biodegradable paper like material.

1. Cellulose film packaging Bags How is it made?

Cellophane is made from cellulose derived from cotton, wood or other sustainably harvested natural sources. Initially a white dissolved pulp, the cellulose content is 92%–98% . Then, the original cellulose pulp is transformed through the following four steps into cellophane.

1. Dissolve the cellulose in alkali (alkaline ionic salts of alkali metal chemicals) and age for several days. ， This dissolution process is called mercerization.

2. Apply carbon disulfide to the mercerized pulp to form a solution called cellulose xanthate or viscose.

3. Add the solution to a mixture of sodium sulfate and dilute sulfuric acid. ， This will turn the solution back into cellulose.

4. The cellulose film is then washed three times. First, the sulfur is removed, then the film is bleached, and finally glycerin is added to improve durability.

The final result Generates Biodegradable Cellophane, used for packaging clothing, toys, electronics, home, gifts, greeting cards, food etc. packaging industry.

2. Cellulose What are the benefits of using film packaging bags? ？

Americans use 1000 billion plastic bags annually, requiring 120 billion barrels of oil annually. In addition, there are 10 ten thousand marine animals killed by plastic bags every year. Plastic bags made from petroleum take 20 many years to degrade in the ocean. When plastic decomposes it produces further produces microplastics that penetrate the food chain.

With the increasing social awareness of environmental protection, Dongguan Shunxingyuan Packaging Products Co., Ltd. is constantly seeking environmentally friendly and biodegradable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics Undoubtedly, cellulose film packaging bags are a good choice. 。

In addition to being a substitute for plastic protective bags cellulose film packaging Bags also has many environmental benefits:

Sustainable and bio-based material —— Since cellophane is made from cellulose harvested from plants, therefore cellophane bags is a sustainable product derived from bio-based renewable resources.

Biodegradable —— Cellulose film packaging Bags Biodegradable. Tests show that if the product is uncoated, cellulose packaging will biodegrade within 28-60 days; if the product is coated, cellulose packaging will biodegrade within 80-120 days. Without coating, it will degrade in water within 10 days; with coating, it will degrade in about a month.

Compostable —— Cellophane can also be safely placed in a home compost pile and does not require industrial facilities for composting.

III. Glassine Bags Advantages What are they?

High transparency —— Glassine bags are a type of paper, compared to other types of paper, glassine paper has high transparency 。

Non-toxic and odorless Glassine bags are non-toxic and odorless.

Good gloss Glassine bags have a bright surface.

Excellent tensile strength Glassine bags have good tensile strength in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

Excellent elasticity Glassine bags have good tensile strength in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

High temperature resistance Glassine bags can be used in high-temperature environments.

Anti-static, dustproof Glassine bags are anti-static and do not easily attract dust.

Moisture-proof —— Biodegradable glassine bags can resist moisture and water vapor, making them products an excellent choice.

Oil resistant —— cellophane bags Naturally resistant to oil and grease.

Dongguan Shunxingyuan Packaging Products Co., Ltd. produces glassine bags that are pure paper without plastic and have obtained FSC certification and can be used for packaging various products, various sizes can be customized, various patterns can be printed, various thicknesses can be customized, short delivery time, good quality, reliable supplier of transparent bags!
