Biodegradability: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with high biodegradability is used in compostable food packaging, where reduced environmental impact and rapid breakdown in industrial composting are achieved. Purity 99%: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with 99% purity is used in pharmaceutical blister packs, where enhanced clarity and reduced risk of contamination are ensured. High molecular weight: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with high molecular weight is used in 3D printing filaments, where superior mechanical strength and dimensional stability are provided. Melting point 170°C: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with a melting point of 170°C is used in injection molding for consumer goods, where precise moldability and consistent processability are attained. Viscosity grade 1.2 dL/g: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with a viscosity grade of 1.2 dL/g is used in spun fiber production, where formation of strong and uniform biodegradable textiles is enabled. Particle size <100 µm: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with particle size less than 100 µm is used in cosmetic exfoliant formulations, where gentle abrasion and fully biodegradable microbeads are delivered. Thermal Stability up to 120°C: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with thermal stability up to 120°C is used in hot beverage cup linings, where heat resistance and maintenance of structural integrity during use are assured. Optical transparency >90%: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with optical transparency greater than 90% is used in disposable clear cups, where excellent aesthetic appeal and product visibility are provided. UV stability enhanced: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with enhanced UV stability is used in agricultural mulch films, where prolonged outdoor durability and reduced degradation from sunlight are achieved. Hydrolytic resistance improved: Polylactic Acid (PLA) with improved hydrolytic resistance is used in medical implant devices, where controlled degradation rates and maintained strength over time are critical. |
| Packing | Polylactic Acid (PLA), 1 kg spool, vacuum-sealed in clear plastic with desiccant, labeled for 3D printing and storage instructions. |
| Container Loading (20′ FCL) | 20′ FCL container loads approximately 16-18 metric tons of Polylactic Acid (PLA), packed in 25kg bags or jumbo bags, securely palletized. |
| Shipping | Polylactic Acid (PLA) is typically shipped as solid pellets, granules, or filament spools in moisture-resistant packaging. It is non-hazardous and requires no special handling; however, it should be kept dry and stored away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain quality and prevent degradation during transit. |
| Storage | Polylactic Acid (PLA) should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Keep PLA in tightly sealed containers or bags with desiccant packets to minimize humidity exposure. Avoid storing near strong acids, bases, or heat sources. Proper storage ensures PLA retains its physical and mechanical properties for extended periods. |
| Shelf Life | Polylactic Acid (PLA) typically has a shelf life of 1–2 years when stored cool, dry, and away from sunlight. |
