Property Profile:

• Thermoplastic based on renewable raw materials, therefore it is ecologically harmless and neutral in the CO2-result

• PLA-L is biodegradable

• Waste disposal e.g. by composting or incineration (CO2 neutral inceneration). Local regulations must be observed.

• High stiffness and a modulus of elasticity up to 2740 MPa

• Good mechanical properties similar to ABS

• High resistance to polar solvents

• Good impact strength even at low temperatures -30 Deg C
        
        
Example of Applications

Furniture industry, toya industry, mechanical engineering, medical
food industry, textile industry, replacement of PET.
