Ingeo™ Biopolymer 6201D

Ingeo™ Biopolymer 6201D 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 staple fibers or continuous filament, using conventional fiber spinning and drawing equipment. It is typically well suited for fiber processes where lower fiber shrinkage is desired: partially orientated yarn (POY), fully drawn yarn (FDY), staple fibers, and continuous filament. Ingeo™ Biopolymer 6201D can be converted into a broad range of fiber products. Potential applications include woven & knitted 100% continuous filament apparel, intimate staple blend fabrics including blends with cotton, wool, other fibers, woven & knitted fabrics, netting for civil engineering applications as well as home furnishings.
