Japan developed a new biodegradable cushioning material

Not long ago, a new buffer material - "biochemical butyl" foam film was launched in Japan. This new material is made of biodegradable materials and is the first biodegradable cushioning material developed in Japan. In the past, biodegradable plastic structures contained inferior fillers and even polymers. Corn starch was added to the newly developed “biochemical butyl”. The new “biochemical butyl” compound not only has the biodegradability, but also has almost no difference in its buffering performance from the plastic foaming material. Because of the addition of an automatic acidifier to “biochemical butyl”, the microbial population of the soil can destroy starch granules and accelerate the decomposition of the polymer. The automatic acidifier composed of natural organic matter like starch is undoubtedly very safe and clean, even if it is burned, it will not produce any toxic substances. In addition, if buried in soil, "biochemical butyl" can be decomposed without toxicity and irritant, and it is not easy to generate static electricity. The properties of foamed materials, such as air cushioning, water resistance, moisture resistance, cutting, padding, and ease of punching, all have "biochemical butyl" properties.
