Product type
PLA films are biodegradable and compostable films made from polylactic acid, a renewable resource derived from corn starch or sugarcane. These films are produced through a process of extrusion and can be used in various applications where traditional plastic films are typically utilized. PLA films offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics, making them increasingly popular in sustainable packaging solutions.
| Thickness | 30 to 200 microns |
| Width | 100 to 1500 mm |
| Transparency | Clear to opaque options available |
| Tensile strength | 40 to 80 MPa |
| Biodegradability | Compostable in industrial facilities within 90 to 180 days |
When selecting PLA films, consider the thickness and width that best suits your application needs. It's important to specify the required tensile strength and transparency based on the intended use. Additionally, inquire about certifications for compostability to ensure compliance with environmental standards. Quantities may vary depending on the supplier, so be prepared to discuss your volume requirements when requesting a quote.
