New application of water soluble film

According to "Plaseics & Rubber Weekly," Aquafilm, based in California, has recently made a series of breakthroughs in the production and application of water-soluble films.
Water soluble membranes have been available for many years, but global production is limited to 4 kt per year. The product is a green product, non-toxic, non-flammable, biodegradable to CO2 and H2O.
At present, the company's products mainly have two kinds - hot water-soluble film and cold water-soluble film. The company's membranes have excellent properties including biodegradability, good elasticity, antistatic, anti-dissolution, fragrance retention, and good gas barrier properties. They are non-toxic and can be printed on membranes using traditional methods and can be processed in water and ink for years. Printing. It is said that the main component of the film is polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and other components are unknown. The equipment used to produce the film is no different from the normal blown film production, but there are major differences within.
The company's most successful application of the film was a hospital laundry bag. The laundry bag made of water-soluble film is used to wrap the contaminated clothes and put into the washing machine to clean it. There is no need to touch the clothes by hand, so as to avoid the harm to the health.
