The outer layer of laundry gel beads is mainly polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, commonly known as “water-soluble film”. This is an environmentally friendly material that is water-soluble and biodegradable.
Characteristics of water-soluble film
Water solubility: Water soluble films do not dissolve immediately upon contact with water, but require rolling and stirring to gradually dissolve. This feature ensures that the film will not dissolve when the hands are slightly wet when using laundry gel beads, and also ensures that it can fully dissolve in the washing machine, releasing the internal laundry detergent.
Degradability: Water soluble film utilizes the film-forming properties of PVA, as well as its water and biological degradation characteristics, and can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water. It is a green, high-tech, and environmentally friendly packaging material.
Usage method
When using laundry gel beads, there is no need to cut or tear open the outer water-soluble film. Just put the laundry beads directly into the inner drum of the washing machine, then add the clothes and start the washing machine. During the washing process, the water-soluble film gradually dissolves, releasing laundry detergent to clean the clothes.
Environmental advantages
Laundry beads use water-soluble film as packaging material, which not only simplifies the laundry process but also improves environmental friendliness. Due to the complete degradation of water-soluble films, there will be no plastic residue generated during use, making them more environmentally friendly.
In summary, the outer layer of the laundry beads is a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, also known as a water-soluble film, which has characteristics such as water solubility and degradability, ensuring the convenience and environmental friendliness of laundry beads.
