PLA is also known as polylactic acid. It's a thermoplastic monomer that comes from organic, renewable sources like corn starch and sugar cane.
PLA is produced by using biomass resources, unlike most plastics that are made from fossil fuels via the polymerization and distillation of petroleum.
PLA is one of the most researched and highly regarded biodegradable materials both domestically and internationally. It finds widespread applications in the medical, packaging, and fiber industries. It boasts excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility, resulting in a significantly lower environmental impact compared to petroleum-based materials, making it a promising green packaging material.
Incorporating PLA microfiber into the cleaning process yields numerous benefits. The fine fibers create an extensive surface area that effectively captures dirt, dust, and even microscopic particles, ensuring a thorough and efficient clean. Its excellent water absorption properties make it ideal for spill cleanup and surface wiping without leaving streaks or residue. Moreover, PLA microfiber cloths are durable and can be washed and reused multiple times, further promoting sustainable practices. In kitchens, it effortlessly tackles grease, grime, and spills. In bathrooms, it provides a hygienic and effective solution for surfaces. For windows, it ensures streak-free clarity. PLA microfiber excels in dusting and polishing, delivering pristine results in homes, offices, and commercial spaces. Its durability enables repeated use, reducing waste.
As environmental awareness increases, PLA fibers have gained attention from numerous experts as a "21st-century environmentally friendly cyclic material" due to their renewability and degradability. They represent a highly promising ecological fiber.
PLA exhibits excellent drape, smoothness, moisture absorption, and breathability. It possesses natural antibacterial properties and is mildly acidic, which is gentle on the skin. Additionally, it has good heat resistance and UV resistance. The fiber is entirely free from petrochemical raw materials, and its waste, under the action of microorganisms in soil and seawater, can decompose into carbon dioxide and water, thus avoiding pollution of the Earth's environment. As the initial raw material for this fiber is starch, its recycling cycle is short, typically lasting one to two years, and the carbon dioxide generated during its degradation can be reduced through plant photosynthesis. When PLA fiber burns, it produces almost no nitrogen oxides, and its combustion heat is about one-third of that of polyethylene and polypropylene.
PLA fiber is made from renewable plant resources, reducing the dependence on traditional petroleum resources, which aligns with the international community's demands for sustainable development. It combines the advantages of synthetic and natural fibers while possessing features of complete natural cycling and biodegradability, making it highly valued in the international textile industry.
Bacteria thrive in warm and humid environments. Towels left in such conditions become breeding grounds for bacteria, resulting in unpleasant odors over time. Towels and bath towels made from PLA have natural skin-friendliness, as the fibers are mildly acidic and effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and mites, thus preventing the generation of odors and providing users with a comfortable experience. Our PLA towels remain odor-free even when used during the summer and exhibit high antibacterial and mite-resistant properties, ensuring a healthy and pleasant user experience.
