Features
Luminy® PLA can be processed on conventional extrusion equipment and can be used as neat resin or as part of a compound to further optimize overall material properties.
It is recommended to use a general purpose screw with L/D ratios between 24 and 32.
Pre-drying of the resin is recommended.
