Biodegradable Mulch Film

In the realm of sustainable agriculture, biodegradable mulch film has emerged as a promising innovation. Made from natural and synthetic materials, it offers a greener alternative to conventional plastic films. This film breaks down naturally, reducing environmental harm. Its benefits include soil protection, enhanced moisture retention, and effective weed control. Ideal for diverse crops and soil types, it aligns with eco-friendly farming goals.

PLA (Polylactic acid) is a promising material for biodegradable mulch films. Derived from renewable resources like corn starch and sugarcane, it's produced by fermenting these feedstocks to create lactic acid, which is then polymerized.

PLA films offer advantages such as excellent biodegradability, emitting no harmful substances during degradation. They also possess good mechanical properties and transparency, ensuring effective soil coverage and light transmission.

However, they may have limitations in heat resistance and flexibility compared to some other materials. Despite this, PLA - based biodegradable mulch films have been successfully applied in agriculture. They reduce soil erosion, retain moisture, and suppress weeds. As they break down, they can enrich soil organic matter. For example, in vegetable cultivation, this biodegradable film can enhance crop yields by about 10% - 20%. Nonetheless, factors like production costs and degradation conditions need to be considered for their wider adoption.

Product Advantage

Environmentally Friendly

It degrades via microbes into harmless substances like CO₂ and water post - use, preventing long - term soil and white pollution.

Excellent Physical Properties

It has the strength and toughness to support and cover crop growth throughout its service life.

Heat Preservation

It effectively conserves soil moisture and increases temperature, reducing water evaporation and boosting crop development. Some biodegradable mulch films outperform conventional ones in insulation and moisture retention.

Inhibit the Growth of Weeds

It suppresses weed growth, lessening competition for nutrients and water, and enhancing crop growth.

Manufacturing Process

Blow Molding

Biodegradable plastic pellets are mixed with additives and fed into a blow molding machine. After heating, extrusion, and inflation, the pellets are processed into biodegradable mulch film.

Cast Film Forming

Biodegradable plastic pellets are melted and extruded through a cast film line. The melt is drawn off, flat film is drawn from the melt and fed to a take - up unit.

Papermaking Process

For plant - fiber mulch films like straw - fiber ones, straw fibers and wood pulp are mixed with water and additives. After refining, sizing, press drying, and drying, the mixture becomes film.

Polymerization

For microbial - synthesized materials like PHAs, bacteria in unbalanced nutrition synthesize intracellular energy and carbon sources. PHAs are produced by controlling bacterial fermentation.

Blending

Different degradable materials are blended into modified ones via blow molding to enhance film properties.

Application of Biodegradable Mulch Film

Agricultural Planting

Biodegradable mulch film is widely used in crops like corn, cotton, tobacco, vegetables, and fruits.

In Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps' cotton fields, thick - material environmental mulch film (0.012mm thick, 2.03m wide) is common.

It outperforms standard plastic film in early - stage insulation and moisture - holding, with 95% weed - covering efficiency. It reduces film residue and boosts cotton yield by about 10%.

Horticultural Cultivation

Used for flowers and seedlings, this compostable products maintains soil humidity and temperature, boosting plant growth and cutting weed - breeding and maintenance costs.

Soil Improvement

Biodegradable mulch film prevents soil erosion, retains water and soil, and enhances soil structure and fertility as a soil cover, aiding soil ecological recovery.
