Ingeo™ Biopolymer 6400D

Ingeo™ Biopolymer 6400D by NatureWorks is a polylactic acid (PLA). It is a thermoplastic fiber-grade resin derived primarily from annually renewable resources. It is designed for extrusion into mechanically drawn continuous filament using conventional fiber spinning and drawing equipment. Ingeo™ Biopolymer 6400D is suitable for fiber that is processed into bulk continuous filament (BCF), which is typically used in the manufacturing of carpet. It can be converted into BCF using a one-step spin-draw process. Potential applications include tufted carpet- loop pile, tufted carpet-cut pile, broad loom carpet and carpet mats.
