Ingeo™ Biopolymer 2500HP

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by NatureWorks

Ingeo™ Biopolymer 2500HP by NatureWorks is a high-viscosity polylactic acid (PLA) for extrusion applications. It is designed to crystallize during processing, leading to higher heat deflection temperatures in opaque applications. It is insoluble in water and its application include crystalline sheet for cards, graphic arts and signage. Ingeo™ Biopolymer 2500HP is FDA approved so this may therefore be also used in food packaging materials.
