Therefore, some people always say on the Internet, "Plastic lunch boxes have been used for a long time, and the inside will be uneven, and the missing part will be eaten by people." Therefore, consumers must pay attention to the shelf life of plastic products. At the same time, aging plastics may release substances that may be harmful to the human body. As for the "life" of a plastic lunch box, it depends on personal use and cleaning methods. The shelf life of most plastic products is generally about three to five months. If it is used frequently, it is better to replace it in one to two months.

Recommended Jiatianfu tableware, also known as environmentally friendly oyster shell tableware, is a new material made of oyster shell powder + PP, plus polymer materials. Waterproof, sturdy, heat-resistant, non-flammable, it is beneficial to reduce the phenomenon of tree felling and papermaking and save oil resources, and it is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. With its light weight, beautiful appearance, high and low temperature resistance, and non-fragile properties.

Jiatianfu tableware performance (three highs): high gloss (110°), high temperature resistance (150°C), high strength (drop resistance) advantages: can be used in microwave ovens and disinfection cabinets, high temperature does not burst; non-stick, non-toxic, Lead-free, no harmful gas, all environmental indicators meet international standards; bright luster, easy to color, slow heat conduction, not hot, smooth edges, delicate feel, easy to clean.

Currently, plasticizers commonly used in the market mainly include DBP, DEHP, DINP and DIDP etc.

Each plastic has its heat resistance limit. Among the materials for food use, polypropylene (PP) can withstand 140°C, followed by polyethylene (PE) which can withstand heat at 110°C, and polystyrene (PS) ) can only withstand heat up to 90°C. Currently commercially available plastic lunch boxes for microwave ovens are mainly made of PP or PE. If the temperature exceeds their heat resistance limit, the plasticizer may be released. Therefore, long-term use of high-temperature heating of plastic tableware to reheat food should be avoided. .

Plastic cutlery you want to use like this! The plastic lunch box only heats water-filled food such as porridge and soup.
