Which plastic materials are used in the home appliance manufacturing industry?
Conventional plastic materials have the advantages of strong plasticity and freedom of design. Therefore, it has been widely used in outer packaging. With the continuous evolution of market demand, the continuous update of technology, and the continuous emergence of new materials, more and more electrical appliances are designed and manufactured with plastic materials.
Modern society follows the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development. In such a large environment, the application of environmentally friendly plastic materials has become more and more widespread. For example, in order to better reduce the weight of the product, a non-toxic and odorless plastic material with a density of <1g/cm^3-PP will be used. There are also applications of bioplastic materials, which are also increasing year by year. After all, compared to other plastics, this type of material is easier to degrade naturally and is more environmentally friendly.
Transparent ABS resin materials are basically used for external transparent parts in home appliances and internal transparent parts of refrigerators. In China, 80% of the consumption of ABS resin comes from the production of home appliances. Therefore, ABS is regarded as one of the main raw materials in the production process of home appliances. With the continuous development of the home appliance industry, the amount of ABS resin plastic is also increasing, even in short supply.
Antibacterial plastic is a new type of material with a certain sterilization function. The so-called sterilization does not mean that it can eliminate bacteria, but can set up a green barrier for users and act as a health guardian. With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for the quality of life, the application of antibacterial plastics in the home appliance manufacturing industry will become more and more common, and even become the mainstream in the future.
According to market surveys, China has become one of the largest countries in the field of discarded household electrical appliances. Therefore, the recycling and reuse of plastics in discarded home appliances has become a problem that the home appliance industry and the plastics industry need to solve together. More use of environmentally friendly degradable plastic materials can increase the recycling rate of plastics. Conventional plastic products can generally be disassembled, broken, and decomposed, and then the plastic particles are mixed evenly through a color mixing machine, and then processed again to form a cycle.
The continuous improvement of technology and the continuous updating and upgrading of materials have promoted the application of plastic materials in the manufacturing of home appliances.
