pla granules material plastic resin Functional filament Environmentally and biodegradable high quality PLA pallet

Detailed Product Description: PLA Raw Material (Polylactic Acid)

Key Features

• Bio-Based and Renewable: PLA is made from natural, renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, or other biomass, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. This reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers the carbon footprint of the final product.

• Biodegradable and Compostable: PLA is certified to decompose in industrial composting facilities under controlled conditions (typically at temperatures around 58°C). It complies with standards such as EN 13432 and ASTM D6400, ensuring it breaks down into non-toxic byproducts like water, carbon dioxide, and organic materials.

• Versatile Processing: PLA raw material is available in pellet or granule form, making it suitable for common industrial processes such as extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and thermoforming. It is also widely used in 3D printing for producing eco-friendly filaments.

• High Clarity and Gloss: PLA can be processed into films or packaging materials with excellent transparency and gloss, making it aesthetically appealing for food packaging and consumer goods.

• Low Melting Temperature: With a melting point of around 150°C to 160°C, PLA is easily processed at lower temperatures compared to petroleum-based plastics like PET or ABS, which helps reduce energy consumption during manufacturing.

• Food Contact Safe: PLA is FDA-approved for food contact applications, making it suitable for producing biodegradable food containers, utensils, cups, and packaging materials.

• Customizable Properties: Different grades of PLA are available depending on the required mechanical properties, thermal resistance, or specific application. Additives can be introduced to enhance flexibility, impact strength, or biodegradability.

• Environmentally Friendly Disposal: At the end of its life cycle, PLA products can be composted in industrial composting facilities, where they break down into natural, non-toxic components. PLA can also be chemically recycled or mechanically recycled, although its biodegradability remains its strongest environmental benefit.

Applications

• Packaging:

  • PLA is widely used in food packaging, including trays, containers, cups, and films. Its compostability makes it ideal for single-use items in the food service industry.
  • PLA films are used in flexible packaging applications like wraps, bags, and liners for fresh produce, bakery goods, and snacks.

• 3D Printing:

  • PLA is one of the most popular materials for 3D printing filaments due to its ease of use, low melting point, and environmental benefits. It allows for the production of detailed, eco-friendly printed objects.

• Disposable Tableware:

  • PLA is commonly used for manufacturing disposable cutlery, plates, cups, straws, and bowls, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic disposables.

• Medical Devices:

  • PLA is used in the medical field to produce biodegradable implants, sutures, and drug delivery systems. Its biocompatibility and ability to degrade naturally in the body make it suitable for temporary medical implants.

• Textiles and Fibers:

  • PLA can be spun into fibers for use in clothing, carpets, and non-woven textiles. PLA-based textiles are biodegradable and can be used in sustainable fashion and home furnishings.

• Agricultural Products:

  • PLA is used to create biodegradable mulch films, plant pots, and seedling trays, which break down naturally in the soil, reducing plastic waste in agriculture.

• Cosmetic Packaging:

  • PLA can be used to manufacture biodegradable packaging for cosmetics, such as jars, bottles, and caps, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable beauty products.
