Polylactic Acid (PLA) (White)

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by Clariant

Polylactic Acid (PLA) (White) by Clariant is a semi-crystalline, biodegradable, polylactic acid thermoplastic 3D-printing filament. It is safe to print and exhibits high tensile strength. It uses NatureWorks Ingeo™ Biopolymer 3D850 PLA for its excellent material performance and printability and is further optimized with Clariant Hostanox® P-EPQ® and Hostavin® ARO 8 to improve heat stability and resistance to thermo-oxidative degradation and yellowing. It can be processed by injection molding. Polylactic Acid (PLA) (White) is suitable for models and prototypes. The minimum shelf life is 1 year.
