Plastic tableware has been widely used in daily life.The example of plastic tableware includes plastic cup, pallet, souffle
Disk, lid, disk, bowl and preparation to food, storage, the manufacturing correlated product for transporting, being supplied with, wherein it is convenient and
Low cost is most important.
For applying in plastic tableware that is microwave cooked, accommodating hot drink or heating food, develop by thermosetting plastics
Some plastic tablewares as made of melmac.These thermosetting plastics tablewares have a good wearability, heat insulating ability and
Anti-soil properties.However it has been found that melmac is harmful to the health of people.
Existing thermoplasticity tableware does not have enough wearabilities to bear external force, therefore is easy to be formed on the surface perhaps
Capture the score line or mark of external harmful substance more.They do not allow food to keep heat for a long time.In addition, they are also easy to
Stain and even if washing can not make product look completely clean.Importantly, till now, not providing to improve
Wearability, the well balanced thermoplasticity tableware material all and in same combination of heat insulating ability and functions.
The material of the present invention is met for well balanced between improved wearability, heat insulating ability and functions
The demand of the plastic tableware of inexpensive and low evil.
