What paper is the disposable paper cup made of?

At present, paper cups sold in the market or disposable paper cups that consumers come into contact with are generally divided into cold drink cups, hot drink cups and ice cream cups. In the production process, it is made of polyethylene film covered with fiber paper. The PE coating on the inner wall of disposable paper cups generally has the function of preventing water immersion, making paper cups waterproof, waterproof, oil-proof and acid-proof. Better protect the food in the paper cup from spilling out and soiling the clothes and hands of customers, so that consumers can enjoy the food while maintaining a good mood!

So the topic about the safety of disposable paper cups has never stopped, and everyone is eager to know the correct answer. What kind of paper cups are safe to use without worrying about the harm to health?

A post circulating on the Internet recently said: It is best not to drink the first glass of water in disposable paper cups, and then drink the second cup after pouring it out. It is also said that paper cups should be scalded with boiling water for 4 or 5 minutes before the harmful substances in them can be removed. But this statement is not feasible, because the heat-resistant temperature of PE coating is only 100- 120 degrees, and it is a bit unrealistic to keep boiling water at 100 degrees for 5 minutes. If the cup really contains elements such as lead and arsenic, it won't bubble out in 5 minutes. So now what details should be paid attention to when teaching consumers to choose disposable paper cups:

A look: first, look at whether the color of disposable paper cups is very white. Don't think that the whiter the disposable paper cup, the better. The whiter and brighter, the more fluorescent agent may be added. Once these harmful substances enter the human body, they will become potential carcinogenic factors. The paper cups promised by Chen Xing Paper Cup in Poyang, Jiangxi Province are absolutely free of fluorescent agents and other substances harmful to consumers' health. Are conscience products, with the best quality to give back to consumers.

Second pinch: then pinch the hardness of the cup. If the cup collapses, it is likely that the cup will deform and leak, and the serious paper cup will not be lifted, which will affect the use. Then consumers can imagine that some manufacturers make disposable paper cups, and the light cost is much less than that of regular manufacturers. When consumers buy disposable paper cups, they can generally feel the stiffness of the cups by gently squeezing both sides of the cups. Chen Xing paper cups in Poyang, Jiangxi have good stiffness, and 340g food-grade sun paper is used. Many experiments have proved that the cup can remain firm after being poured into the beverage for 24 hours, and there will be no phenomena such as soaking the cup in the beverage, leaking the beverage and breaking the cup. It will make consumers feel comfortable when they buy it.

Three smells: if the consumer gets the cup, smell it gently with his nose. If you can smell the heavy ink or musty smell caused by improper storage of disposable paper cups, then the cups should be discarded quickly and not used again. If the cup has a serious ink smell, it is definitely not food-grade ink. If it is an industrial ink, it contains benzene and toluene. When packaging, 25- 100 disposable paper cups are stacked together. If industrial ink is used, paper cups will definitely stick to the inner wall of the cup when stacked, which is harmful to health. Moldy disposable paper cups will produce mold, which will inevitably affect the health of consumers after entering the body through drinks. Poyang Chen Xing paper cups are printed with water-based ink, and the shelf life is as long as 5 years. In the warehouse where cups are stacked, the air is dry and not humid, and there is good ventilation equipment, so the cups will not be moldy. Will not produce ink smell, and will not affect the taste of the drink because of the cup.

The above are the small details that consumers need to pay attention to when purchasing disposable paper cups. Consumers must not bother to buy disposable paper cups. Don't buy paper cups just because the outer packaging looks good. Don't buy a cup just because the pattern on it looks good. Be sure to experience it for yourself. For the health of family members, consumers must strictly observe the principle of "one look, two pinches and three smells" and completely eliminate the factors that are prone to hidden dangers.
