1. As a natural macromolecule, starch has a wide range of sources, low price, and complete biodegradation. It is one of the most promising green packaging materials. However, because starch is a polysaccharide polymer compound with a large number of hydroxyl groups in the molecule, it can form a large number of intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form complete particles with a microcrystalline structure, resulting in its melting processing temperature is much higher than its thermal decomposition temperature. It has thermoplastic processability, which greatly limits the application of starch. However, when a variety of additives are added to starch, thermoplastic starch (TPS) is prepared under the action of heat and shear force, thereby improving the processing performance and performance of starch, and realizing a wide range of applications such as starch processing and molding.

2. Thermoplastic starch (abbreviation: TPS), the appearance is light yellow or light gray, it is modified from corn, sweet potato, tapioca and other starches, this product is completely bio-based (the raw materials used are all food-grade bio-based sources), and Biodegradable. It can be directly blown film, cast, extruded sheet, modified, etc. with PLA, PBAT, PE, PP and other materials through physical blending. The obtained film or sheet product is smooth and delicate, and has good flexibility. The products produced by blending with PBAT, PBS, PCL, etc. can meet the requirements of household and industrial composting.

3. Application scope of TPS thermoplastic starch:

1. PBAT+TPS, can replace PBAT blown film modified special material

2. LDPE+TPS, can replace LDPE bio-based blown film modifier

3. LLDPE+TPS, can replace LLDPE bio-based blown film modifier
