Ingeo™ Biopolymer 4043D by NatureWorks is a polylactic acid (PLA) derived from annually renewable resources. It is recoverable in the form of material recycling, energy recovery, composting and biodegradable.
- It can be converted into a biaxially oriented film with use temperatures up to 265°F (130°C).
- This multipurpose extrusion grade results in 3D printing monofilament with excellent printability characteristics such as precise detail, good adhesion to build plates (no heating needed), less warping or curling, and low odor.
- These properties make Ingeo™ Biopolymer 4043D film an ideal product for candy twist wrap and other packaging applications.
- Additional properties include barrier to flavor, grease and superior oil resistance.
