Luminy® L175

Luminy® L175 by Total Corbion PLA is a high viscosity, high heat, odorless polylactic acid (PLA) homopolymer grade. Exhibits higher melting point and an increased rate of crystallization. It has a bio-based content of 100% (confidence level 1) and a bio-based carbon content of 100% according to EN16785-1 under certificate number DIC-00001. It can be processed by injection molding, film extrusion, thermoforming or fiber spinning. Offers a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to oil-based plastics. Complies with EN-13432 standard. Luminy® L175 meets EU commission regulation 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles for food contact applications. It has been certified compostable by Vinçotte (OK Compost S478) and by European Bioplastics 7W2030 (Seedling 7W2030) up to a thickness of 1.0 mm. Compounds containing PLA homopolymers are suitable for the production of semi-crystalline parts, which exhibit a higher temperature resistance.
