Recently, the world's leading Rhodia polyamide announced at the China International Rubber and plastic exhibition that the company has strengthened source innovation and realized that two thirds of the polyamide technylexten series products are made from renewable castor oil, which not only reduces the impact on the ecological environment, but also broadens the application range of polyamide in the high-tech field. Ye bingluan, vice president of Asia Pacific region of Rhodia polyamide, told reporters: "bioengineering plastics technology is bound to become the trend of all technical product markets. In response to the financial crisis and committed to the development of low-carbon economy, we have been able to fully grasp and utilize technylexten as bio source engineering plastics in its production life cycle It will produce significant environmental benefits, which confirms Rhodia's adherence to sustainable development as a responsible chemical company. "
According to reports, the newly developed technylexten series can effectively reduce the impact of chemical industry on the environment. According to the measurement of the environmental impact assessment expert group of R & D Department of Rhodia, the greenhouse gas emission of the new product is reduced by 50% compared with the product made from the raw material of * *, and the performance of the product is also better than that of ordinary engineering plastics. For example, two thirds of the raw materials are from castor oil pa6.10, which has excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance, similar to PA6, melting point up to 215 ° C, and chemical corrosion resistance similar to PA12. It has very high barrier property to gasoline, but has low water absorption, which is between PA6 and PA12. Compared with the traditional polyamide with similar performance, the consumption of raw materials for the finished product is reduced by 20%.
