The two companies have jointly developed a PLA+PHA film, which has been used in suit covers of European high-end brands
Recently, Japan High Chemical Co., Ltd. and High Speed Co., Ltd. jointly developed a new product based on a mixture of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) blown film method: "PLA blown film method film". This film has been used in suit covers of European high-end brands, etc., and is expected to have a wide range of applications in many fields.
As a leading professional trading company in the field of lightweight packaging materials, High Speed has long cooperated with High Chemical, which widely handles biodegradable materials, to jointly promote the development and promotion of biodegradable materials. Through this cooperation, the two parties have successfully developed a blown film technology using PLA and PHA that was previously considered difficult to achieve.
High Chemical's ability to purchase raw materials and market development capabilities for a wide range of biodegradable materials, coupled with High Speed's outstanding product development and sales capabilities, have enabled the two parties to advance their efforts to develop new demand in the field of blown film using biodegradable materials.
The industry's first, providing a new processing concept for biodegradable plastic films. High-speed's excellent sales capabilities and innovative proposals.
Since its establishment in 1966, High-speed has steadily expanded its business in the field of lightweight flexible packaging materials, with more than 1,600 suppliers and more than 140,000 product categories, providing packaging solutions.
Focusing on the packaging field, with the slogan "Make without", it not only produces packaging materials, but also produces various promotional tools, sells packaging-related equipment, and conducts extensive business.
High Chemical's raw material procurement and market development capabilities in the field of biodegradable materials
High Chemical has signed a business strategic partnership agreement with Anhui Fengyuan Group Co., Ltd., China's largest polylactic acid (PLA) manufacturer, and has taken the lead in market development of biodegradable materials.In addition, High Chemical not only imports and sells PLA, but also imports and sells a total of 7 biodegradable materials such as polysuccinic acid/terephthalate (PBAT) and marine degradable resin (PHA). In December 2021, the next-generation PLA material "HIGHLACT®" was released, and the development of PLA fiber for the apparel industry was started.
Adopted as suit cover by European high-end brand
Previously, the transportation of clothing suits usually used general-purpose resins such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) or film products that only partially used biomaterials. Now, the revolutionary technology newly developed by Koshin & Koshin Chemical has enabled the 100% bio-based and biodegradable "PLA blown film film" to be used in suit covers of European high-end brands.
The suit cover uses plant-derived bio-based resin to form a film, which helps reduce environmental load and contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society. At the same time, it has also obtained the biodegradable bio-based plastic certification mark of JBPA (Japan Bio-based Plastics Association).
Antibacterial effect
The suit cover developed this time has shown a strong antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and is expected to have an antibacterial effect during transportation and storage.
