Properties

VINNEX® LA 8040 provides the following advantages to processing of biodegradable plastics (PLA:, PBAT, starch,):

  • Processing of biopolyesters on conventional thermoplastic equipment.
  • Blending of biopolyesters with each other, easy homogenazation.

  • Increased organic or inorganic filler/fiber content without hardly sacrificing performance.

  • Improved performance and final product properties.
  • Improved processing and increased process speed, especially in 3D printing, film processing, injection molding and extrusion applications.
  • Reduces metallic noise of PLA
