Nieuwe flexibele PLA kan PP vervangen

AIMPLAS has completed its participation in the EU project InnoREX. The main innovation within the project is the use of an extruder as a reactor to produce polylactic acid (PLA) from lactide. This new technology does not use metallic catalysts and it uses alternative energies.
The project achieved a modified PLA, more flexible and 200% more resistant to impact than the conventional one. The new material can be used in food packaging manufacturing by injection and thermoforming, where PLA can replace polypropylene. 11 companies and technology centres participated in this project that was coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (Persbericht AIMPLAS, 13 september 2016).
