PLA is also known as polylactide and belongs to the polyester family. PLA is a polymer obtained from the polymerisation of lactic acid as the main raw material, which is sourced from sufficient and renewable sources, mainly from maize and cassava. The production process of PLA is pollution-free and the product is biodegradable and recyclable in nature, making it an ideal green polymer.
PLA is thermally stable, with a processing temperature of 170-230°C. It has good solvent resistance and can be processed in various ways, such as extrusion, spinning, biaxial stretching, injection blow moulding.
