"According to the regulations, there is a triangular sign with an arrow on the normal plastic ware. There is a number in the triangle, which is defined from 1 to 7 and the range of usage is defined." Jinhua entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau dongyang office staff introduced.
Number 1 for main manufacture material for pet (polyethylene terephthalate oxalic ester), commonly used to make the beverage bottle, it can heat 70 ℃, with high temperature liquid or heating is easy to deformation, lead to harmful substances RongChu, not suitable for recycling.
Number 2 for hdpe (high density polyethylene), suitable for cleaning supplies, bath products, etc., resistant to high temperature of 110 ℃, but usually not clean, become a hotbed of bacteria, it is best not to recycle.
The number 3 is PVC (PVC), mainly used for building materials, raincoats, etc., rarely used in food packaging, which can produce harmful substances at high temperature.
Figure 4 for ldpe (low density polyethylene), used in the manufacture of cling film, plastic products, heat resistance is not strong, more than 110 ℃ hot melt phenomenon would appear, leave some of the human body cannot decompose plastic preparation, therefore, physical objects into the microwave, first remove the wrapped in plastic wrap.
The number 5 for pp (polypropylene), resistance to high temperature of 130 ℃, is the only state that can be used in the microwave, can be reused after careful cleaning, but some microwave boxes box body with 5 pp manufacture, lifted the lid with a pet or ps, so can't together with the box body into the microwave oven.
Figure 6 for ps (polystyrene), is often used to make bowl of instant noodles box, snack box and so on, the material can't into the microwave oven, also cannot be used to install acid (such as orange juice), strong alkaline substances, because will break down the polystyrene is bad for the body. As a result, food should be avoided by putting hot food in a box of fast food or putting a bowl of instant noodles into the microwave.
Number seven for PC (polycarbonate), used to produce the kettle, bottles, space cup, etc., due to incomplete reaction and so on in the process of production, manufacturing plastic containers of this material easy to release toxic substance bisphenol a, should try to avoid using this material to make plastic containers holding food.
