Processing window
Process: injection molding
- Drying100 °C, 4–6 h, desiccant dryer (dew point ≤ −40 °C), moisture < 250 ppm
- Mold temperature90–120 °C (in-mold crystallization)
- Melt temperature200–205 °C
- ≤ 0.025 %Max. moisture before processing

Colors
Biodegradation performance is subject to third-party testing and certification
Composition
PLA with nucleating agent and mineral; in-mold or post crystallization
Colors
Natural; colors assessed per project (masterbatch must meet the same degradation and heavy-metal requirements)
Description
PLA with nucleating agent and mineral, crystallized in the mold or by post-annealing. Crystallization raises its heat resistance, for hot-drink and hot-food parts (validated per project).
