PLA film is a thin material made from Polylactic Acid (PLA), which is widely used in packaging, agricultural mulching and many other applications. Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a bio-based polymer made from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane through the fermentation process. It has good biodegradability and can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water in the natural environment, which is friendly to the environment. The main features of PLA films are:
- Environmentally friendly: Since it is derived from natural plant resources and can be completely degraded under certain conditions, it is of great significance in reducing plastic pollution.
- High transparency: PLA films have good transparency, making them suitable for applications where internal items need to be displayed.
- good mechanical strength: although compared to traditional plastics may be slightly inferior, but after appropriate modification, PLA film can also achieve a fairly high tensile strength and toughness.
- Thermoplasticity: With a certain degree of thermoplasticity, it can be molded into various shapes by heating.
- gas barrier: oxygen, moisture, etc. have a certain barrier effect, suitable for food preservation and other fields.
- Good printing suitability: smooth and flat surface, easy to color printing processing.
