Heat-resistant PET tableware
More than 90% of the plastic tableware on the market is made of melamine, and it is estimated that the total output value of melamine tableware in 2023 will be NT$29.757 billion, with a total weight of 42,000 tons, or about 300 million pieces.
The use of low-cost urea formaldehyde or more temperature-resistant melamine formaldehyde tableware to hold hot soup at a high temperature of more than 40 degrees will precipitate trace amounts of melamine and formaldehyde; Damaged, scratched, or old melamine dishes are more likely to dissolve melamine; Melonate cutlery is also not suitable for use in the microwave as it may also emit toxicity when heated.
Nan Ya Polyester Film Division develops polyester raw materials suitable for injection processing and can make tableware with a heat-resistant temperature (heat deflection temperature HDT) of 175°C, and its basic properties are similar to those of Bao Teh bottles that can be seen everywhere in daily life, which are non-toxic and safe, and can be recycled into ester granules for other purposes after use, so as to achieve the effect of circular economy and resource recovery.
