What is food grade pp material

PP material is a very common plastic. It can be used to make various plastic packaging, such as disposable lunch boxes, plastic bags, edible plastic parts, etc. Moreover, this PP material is safe and non-toxic. The most important thing is that it has good high temperature resistance. The only disadvantage is that it cannot be heated in a microwave oven. It can also be put in a refrigerator for refrigeration. It has a wide range of uses.

What is the difference between food grade PP and PC and Tritan materials?

1. Both PC and PP can be made into food grade plastics. Many people say that only PP is food grade. This is a conceptual issue. Food grade refers to relevant certifications, such as FDA in the United States, and other certifications in the EU and Japan, but FDA is still the most widely applicable. Therefore, from this perspective, it cannot be proved that PP is healthier. There are many products of both.

2. The harm of PC comes from BPA, which is bisphenol A. This problem is already known to everyone. The harm of bisphenol A is not as great as the legend. The animal experiments that have been completed have also proved that the harm is aimed at the growth period. There is no need to exaggerate. Therefore, pregnant women and young children should pay proper attention. The reason for this is that the opportunity to contact bisphenol A is not this occasion. In addition, the dosage of animal experiments is very large. Our human body can still withstand the trace amount of bisphenol A in PC plastics.

3. PP is not absolutely safe. PP from suspicious sources is much more harmful than PC from regular channels. Many PP plastic products on the market are made of recycled materials, and the hardest hit areas are straws and disposable items. In addition, catalysts are also used in the production process of PP, which generally contain titanium and aluminum;

4. PC has excellent performance and is an important type of engineering plastic. It has good temperature tolerance and can handle hot water. PP has average performance, but it can handle hot water.

5. Ceramics and glass are safer than plastics. This is also based on the reliable source. Some porcelain clay or porcelain glaze contains heavy metals, and they will precipitate due to unsatisfactory firing process. This does not mean that plastics are good, but that any material has shortcomings and cannot be generalized. The same is true for the relationship between PC and PP.

6. Material: Tritan, also known as copolyester PCTG, features: TX1001 is resistant to high temperatures of 99 degrees, TX2001 is resistant to 109 degrees, food grade FDA, can be sterilized with boiling water, does not contain bisphenol A (BPA), chemical resistance, high transparency (haze less than 1%), excellent colorability, hydrolysis stability, rapid molding, and high toughness.
