Benefits of PLA Granules
 

Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable

PLA granules are biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, helping reduce plastic pollution and environmental impact.

Renewable Raw Materials

They are produced from renewable plant-based sources, not petroleum, supporting sustainable production.

Good Mechanical Properties

PLA offers good rigidity and strength, making it suitable for packaging, disposable products, and 3D printing.

Excellent Printability

PLA has a low melting point and stable flow properties, making it very easy to process, especially in 3D printing and injection molding.

Low Odor & Safe Material

PLA is non-toxic and produces little to no odor during processing, making it suitable for food-contact and consumer products.

Energy Efficient Processing

PLA requires lower processing temperatures compared to many petroleum-based plastics, reducing energy consumption.

 

 

Application of PLA Granules

Packaging Industry
PLA granules are used to manufacture bottles, cups, bags, and packaging films. Its biodegradability makes it a preferred choice for producing compostable packaging materials.

 

Agriculture
In agriculture, PLA granules is used to produce mulch film that decomposes in the soil after a certain period, reducing waste and labor costs associated with film removal.

 

Electronics
PLA granules is also used in the electronics industry for the production of casings and components. Its insulating properties make it suitable for this purpose.

 

Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, PLA granules is used to produce interior parts and components, contributing to the reduction of vehicle weight and fuel consumption.

 

3D Printing Filaments
PLA granules is one of the most popular materials in desktop 3D printing due to its ease of use and low warping.

Production Process
 
01/

Extraction of Starch: The first step in creating PLA is extracting starch from renewable sources such as corn. The starch is refined to remove impurities and prepare it for fermentation.

02/

Fermentation: The purified starch undergoes a fermentation process where it is converted into sugars. Special strains of bacteria or yeast are used to ferment these sugars into lactic acid.

03/

Polymerization: The lactic acid is then subjected to a polymerization process, where it is chemically combined to form long chains of polylactic acid. This transformation can be done through two primary methods: direct condensation polymerization and ring-opening polymerization.

04/

Pelletizing: The resultant PLA is then cooled and cooled before being shaped into small pellets. These pellets can be easily transported and stored for further processing in various applications, including 3D printing.

 

Usage Requirements

 

 

1. PLA granules must be fully dried before processing because they easily absorb moisture.
2. PLA is heat-sensitive, so strict temperature control is required.
3. For injection molding, medium injection speed and pressure are recommended.
4. The material should not stay too long in the barrel, and low shear processing is preferred to avoid thermal degradation.
5. They must be protected from moisture and direct sunlight, and the packaging should remain sealed until use to maintain material performance.
