What is PLA?
View Details
PLA is short for Polylactic acid or polylactide. It is a new type of biodegradable material, which is derived from renewable starch resources, such as corn, cassava and other crops. It is fermented and extracted by microorganisms to obtain lactic acid, and then refined, dehydrated, oligomerized, pyrolyzed, and polymerized. What Is CPLA? If you are looking for more details, kindly visit sontex. CPLA is a Crystallised PLA,which is created for higher heat use products. Since PLA has a low melt point, so it’s best for cold use up to around 40ºC or 105ºF. While more heat resistance is needed such as in cutlery, or lids for coffee or soup, then we use a crystallised PLA with some biodegradable additives. So we get CPLA products with higher heat-resistance up to 90ºC or 194ºF. CPLA (Crystalline Polylactic Acid): It is a combination of PLA (70-80%, chalk （20-30%）) and other biodegradable additives. It is a new type of bio-based renewable bsing renewable plant resources (corn, cassava, etc..), made from the extracted starch raw materials, which can be completely degraded to generate carbon dioxide and water, and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material. Through PLA crystallization, our CPLA products can withstand high temperatures up to 85° without deformation.
