17 - New method for sticking a bioplastic bag together
The double layer method
If you as a company would love to produce more of the Agar bioplastic packaging bags you can follow these production steps:
Tips:
- Make sure you can make big sheets on a flat and smooth surface, like glass or plexiglass.
- I have tested the recipe till 2 liters and the outcome stays the same
- Don’t let your sheets become too thin, you won’t be able to get the sheet of the glass easily.
Production option 1 Double layer
1. Cook the bioplastic recipe at no more than 80 degrees, 30 minutes per liter.
2. Pour a first layer of the hot liquid on a flat surface and spread it equally.
3. Cut a slice of bio baking paper in a size you prefer. Don’t forget to add a little on the opening of the bag so the bag is openable.
4. When the first layer of liquid is a little dried up (After 10/15 minutes) you put the slices of baking paper on the first layer. Press it a little.
5. Pour the second layer of hot liquid with the same recipe over the first layer and the ba king paper. Make sure that the baking paper is covered. Don’t worry if it will be too thick, it will shrink a little.
6. Let it dry for 4 till 7 days.
7. Cut out the bags and make sure you don’t cut to close to the baking paper.
8. Let it dry for 1 or 2 more days, just to make sure the bag is fully dried.
9. Now your bag is finished. And ready for the challenges ahead.
