"Modified Polylactic Acid" *Development Product* | クラレ　イソプレンケミカル事業部

While maintaining the biodegradability of polylactic acid, significantly improves impact resistance and flexibility. It enables the creation of durable products using bio-based materials.

"Modified Polylactic Acid" is a material that significantly enhances impact resistance and flexibility while maintaining the excellent biodegradability of polylactic acid. Being bio-derived, it is suitable for environmentally friendly plastic containers, toys, and other materials. Its flexibility and durability have improved due to reduced viscosity, enhancing its moldability. You can choose brands compatible with extrusion molding and injection molding, allowing for the production of various molded products such as sheets, films, injection-molded items, and filaments for 3D printers. [Features] ■ For extrusion molding: Significant improvement in elongation at break and impact resistance. ■ For injection molding: Significant improvement in flexibility (tensile and bending) and impact resistance. *For more details, please refer to the materials.
