VINNEX® LA 2540
VINNEX® LA 2540 is a solid, thermoplastic polymer granulate. The clear, yellowish polymer is based on vinyl acetate and polylactic acid. It is designed as an additive for the application in biodegradable plastic formulations.
Properties
VINNEX® LA 2540 provides the following advantages to processing of biodegradable plastics (PLA: PHA; PBS, PBAT, starch, CA):
- 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 extrusion, injection molding and film processing applications.
Data sheets
Application
VINNEX® LA 2540 is recommended for modification of biodegradable polymers and compounds or their blending with natural or mineral fillers and fibres in dry mix applications.
Processing
