Biodegradation performance is subject to third-party testing and certification
Composition
PLA with PBAT / PBS toughening phase and compatibilizer
Colors
Natural; colors assessed per project (masterbatch must meet the same degradation and heavy-metal requirements)
Description
PLA with PBAT / PBS toughening phase and compatibilizer. Tougher than general-purpose PLA and less prone to brittle fracture.
