PC plastic bottles will be kicked out of the Chinese market
It is understood that each year around the world to produce 27 million tons of plastic containing BPA, and BPA is the main killer of endocrine disorders, threatening the health of fetuses and children's, cancer and metabolic disorders and lead to obesity is also thought. Since March 2, 2011, the European Union has banned the production of baby bottles containing the chemical bisphenol A (BPA), which has been gradually evicted from the market in China.
Experts said that China's ministry of health and other departments have issued A joint statement to ban the production of polycarbonate baby bottles and other baby bottles containing bisphenol A from June 1, 2011. From 1 September 2011, import and sale of polycarbonate baby bottles and other baby bottles containing bisphenol A are prohibited. At the same time, the state administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine has also revoked all production licenses for the production of baby milk bottles from polycarbonate. "Even after A considerable amount of time, the PC bottle continues to release bisphenol A.
On the one hand, it is because the raw materials of PC milk bottles have bisphenol A, which cannot be broken down. On the other hand, milk bottles are generally used to hold hot milk and hot water. In the high temperature conditions, the release of bisphenol A will be accelerated, and the parents who have previously purchased PC bottles should be disposed of the discarded ones in A timely manner. According to experts, PC plastic milk bottles are lightweight, fragile and highly transparent. They have been popular since the 1960s. However, as people deepen understanding of PC material, bottle materials technology innovation and the upgrading of consumer safety consciousness, PC bottle to exit the market gradually, ended its 50 years of market dominance.
"Now, many consumers have already know the PC material is A national ban on the production and the sales, can't buy baby bottles containing bisphenol A PC material, but not other plastic bottles are not safe." Experts explain that bisphenol A, also known as BPA, is the raw material for making PC polycarbonate. Because bpa has A female hormone, it can lead to endocrine disorders that threaten the health of the fetus and children.
Some medical experts believe that the obesity caused by metabolic disorders is also linked to bisphenol A, which can also cause cancer. Since March 1, 2011, the eu has banned the production of A plastic bottle containing bisphenol A, which has been banned from importing any bisphenol A plastic milk bottles since June 2011. In March 2013, Sweden announced regulations to ban bisphenol A in food packaging coatings and coatings for children under 3 years old. The United States, Canada, France and other countries are also developing and releasing bisphenol A for food packaging requirements.
PC, PES, PPSU and PP are all organic compounds. In terms of heat resistance, PES and PPSU have the highest heat resistance. The second is the PC, which is a engineering plastic; The worst of the heat is the PP, which is used as a universal plastic because of its low cost and is widely used in other plastic products, except for plastic bottles.
"Although it is not as good as PES or PPSU, the PP is better than PES and PPSU, but in terms of the national conditions, PP materials are more cost-effective and safe and do not release bisphenol A." According to dong jinshi, PES, PPSU and PP bottles are less transparent than PC materials, and the first two have light yellow and can withstand higher temperatures. PPSU is better than the material of PES, the synthesis of these two kinds of material is difficult, belong to the new polymer materials, and the current domestic production is not allowed only allow imports, thus mainly imported bottles with PES, PPSU materials, so the price is higher.
Focusing on the health of infants, experts advise consumers to buy plastic bottles of PES, PPSU, and PP, according to their own circumstances. In order to avoid the chemical substances that may be harmful to the baby's health in the process of heat or heat or steam sterilization, it is recommended to replace the bottle in three months or about half a year.
