Our newest product, Classic PVA Alkaline Hydrolysis
body bags are a versatile water soluble body bag with a straight zipper. Designed specifically to work in Alkaline Hydrolysis, this bag is recommended for use in the process chamber.
Alkaline Hydrolysis is considered a more ecologically friendly alternative to traditional cremation for the disposal of human remains.
What is alkaline hydrolysis?
It is a gentler, green alternative to flame-based cremation used for both humans and animals. Flame-based cremations run approximately 1600°F - 1800°F; alkaline hydrolysis runs approximately 150°F - 350°F.
Alkaline Hydrolysis is also known as flameless, hydro & water cremation, aquamation, biocremation & resomation. This sterile process uses water flow, alkaline & heat to accelerate natural decomposition, leaving no DNA or tissue after the process is finished. A white ash is the result once cremation is complete and the ash can be placed in an urn or alternative green funeral option just as with standard cremation.
Classic Plastics has been a body bag fabricator for more than 25 years, using only the best quality materials & construction methods to exceed all standards. All of our vinyl & polyethylene body bags are sewn & seal reinforced with a heat seal bar ensuring consistent durability. We have extensive experience in cadaver body bag construction using numerous materials - such as polyolefins, polyethylene, nylon reinforced poly material, PVC, mesh PVC, PVA & bioplastics. Our newly developed PVA Alkaline Hydrolysis bag was developed with testing in the flameless water cremation systems & we see this trend continuing to grow as green funerals become more desired.
