1.Industry Background: Environmental Challenges in Machinery Manufacturing

  • Traditional pneumatic sleeves mostly use petroleum-based rubber/plastics, which are difficult to degrade after disposal. Both the EU's REACH regulations and China's "dual-carbon" policies have imposed environmental requirements on mechanical components.

  • Yangtian Machinery's Breakthrough: YT-Bio Series Bio-based Sleeves

2.Raw Materials: 60% derived from polylactic acid (PLA) made from corn starch, with 40% modified rubber for reinforcement.

  • Degradability: Fully degradable within 3 years under industrial composting conditions, with no microplastic residues.

  • Mechanical Properties: Passed ISO 14040 life cycle assessment; tensile strength reaches 80% of traditional products, meeting the needs of light-load scenarios.

3.Applicable Fields

  • Food & pharmaceutical equipment: Eliminates the risk of mineral oil contamination

  • Outdoor engineering machinery: Reduces environmental burdens during field operations.
