Henan Huiyang Bio-New Materials Co.,Ltd. (hereinafter“Huiyang Bio”)is a state-controlled high-tech enterprise located in Hebi City,Henan Province,China.The company is a joint venture between Henan Investment Group,Henan Bio-industry Group,Hebi Investment Group,and the internationally renowned Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation(via its subsidiary),benefiting from strong provincial state-owned enterprise backing and global technical expertise.Huiyang Bio is a sister company of our firm, Henan New Tuoyang International Trade Co., Ltd., both being members of the same parent group.
Huiyang Bio focuses on the R&D and pilot-scale production of High Molecular Weight Polylactic Acid(HM-PLA) .Derived from renewable biomass such as corn and cassava,this material boasts low carbon emissions throughout its life cycle and is fully biodegradable,making it an ideal substitute for conventional petroleum-based plastics and a key driver for green and sustainable development.
Core Technical Advantages
Compared with commercially available low‑fluidity PLA,Huiyang Bio’s HM-PLA delivers comprehensive improvements in molecular structure and macroscopic performance:
- Superior molecular architecture :D‑isomer content of only 0.7%(vs.1%in standard PLA)and an internal crosslinking degree as low as 0.03%(vs.0.3%)ensure a highly linear chain structure,imparting higher melt strength and processing stability.
- Significantly lower melt flow rate :MFR at 190°C/2.16kg is just 0.6 g/10min(vs.5 g/10min for regular PLA),making it particularly suitable for extrusion sheet,film forming,and blow molding processes where melt shape retention is critical.
- Enhanced mechanical properties :Key indicators such as impact strength and flexural strength are improved by approximately 10%over standard PLA;elongation at break rises from 3%to 5%,markedly boosting toughness and product durability.
- Improved thermal stability :Melting point(177°C)and glass transition temperature(62°C)are both elevated,with a heat deflection temperature of 56°C,enabling broader application scenarios.
Wide-Ranging Applications
Thanks to its excellent biocompatibility,transparency,antibacterial properties,gloss,and gas barrier performance,HM-PLA finds extensive use in:
- Medical&Healthcare :Bone screws,medical stents,surgical sutures,drug delivery carriers
- Aesthetic Medicine :Cosmetic microspheres,nanofibers
- Food Packaging :Eco-friendly containers,fresh-keeping films,foaming materials
- Industrial&Consumer Goods :3D printing filaments,engineering plastics,textile fibers
