Polylactic Acid Typical Properties

Polylactic Acid Function

It is a thermoplastic polymer obtained by artificial chemical synthesis of lactic acid produced by biological fermentation, and has good biocompatibility and biodegradability.

Polylactic Acid Applications

• Used as high-performance packaging materials due to its excellent gloss, transparency, and heat resistance.

• Applied in the textile industry for manufacturing fibers used in underwear and outerwear.

• Utilized in the medical and health fields for biocompatible and biodegradable products.

• Suitable for industrial applications including construction, agriculture, forestry, and paper manufacturing.

• Employed in various processing methods such as extrusion, spinning, biaxial stretching, and injection blow molding.

• Used as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics due to its origin from biological fermentation.
