PLA is a biobased polymer derived from natural resources and offers a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to oil-based plastics. Luminy LX175 is a high viscosity, low flow, amorphous, transparent Standard PLA can be processed on conventional extrusion equipment and can be used as neat resin or as part of a compound to further optimize overall material properties. It is recommended to use a general purpose screw with L/D ratios between 24 and 32. Pre-drying of the resin is recommended. PLA resin suitable for film extrusion, thermoforming or fiber spinning.
