Masterbatches that boost HDT and impact and cut cycles for PL A biopolymers

摘要

A NEW series of masterbatches for polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastic increases the heat distortion temperature (HDT) and impact strength of the resin and substantially reduces its cooling time in injection molding, making possible semi-durable and durable applications which until now have been closed to standard PLA, will be introduced by Teknor Apex Company at NPE2015. New Terraloy Masterbatches are based on Nature Works' Ingeo HP PLA and nucleating agent from Takemoto Oil & Fat, and other Ingredients, has opened the way to durable applications.
