Features & Benefits
- Materials Features
- Product Benefits
- Optical Properties - Biostrengin® 700 copolymer is transparent in PLA at typical use levels
- Melt Strength - Biostrength® 700 copolymer increases melt strength of PLA for improved processing during extrusion, calendering, blow molding, thermoforming and injection molding.
- Necking and Sagging of Melt - Biostrength® 700 copolymer decreases sagging and necking phenomena of the PLA melt, providing greater ease in processing and higher quality finished arlicles.
- Regrind PLA and Poor Drying - Biostrength® 700 copolymer can be used to compensate for losses in melt strength when using high levels of regrind PLA or with insufficient drying of PLA
Applications & Uses
- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Plastics & Elastomers Processing Methods
- Product Applications
Biostrength® 700 copolymer is recommended for use in PLA for applications where improvements in melt strength and ease of processability are desired. Typical use levels range from 1% to 5% by weight. Prospective clients should evaluate Biostrength® 700 copolymer in their own laboratories to establish optimum conditions for use in their processes and applications.
