Ingeo™ Biopolymer 4032D

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by NatureWorks

Ingeo™ Biopolymer 4032D by NatureWorks is a biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA). It provides barrier to flavor, grease and oil resistance. It is a thermoplastic resin derived from annually renewable resources. It is recoverable in the form of material recycling, energy recovery and composting. It is designed for general extrusion processes when a higher melting point product is needed. These properties make Ingeo™ Biopolymer 4032D a ideal product for signages, gift card, profiles and other packaging applications.
