Description
PLA is a bio-based biodegradable polyester derived from corn starch or sugarcane. It features high rigidity, but is brittle with poor heat resistance (HDT only 50-60°C), making it suitable for short-term use products.
Key Features
1. 100% compostable (comply with the EN13432 standard)
2. High rigidity & gloss (similar to PS)
3. Low processing energy consumption (melting point only 160-180°C)
4. Poor heat resistance (require modification for improvement)
