Pla - FC 32230 - Ert

FC 32230 is a biocomposite material made from PLA reinforced with cellulosic fiber. It combines the advantages of better resistance with a lower carbon footprint than traditional plastics. The material is suitable for injection molding applications. Physical properties include a melt flow rate between 9-30 g/10 min and a density of 1.30 g/cm3. Mechanical properties include a tensile strength over 32 MPa, elongation at break under 5%, and a notched Izod impact strength over 29 J/m. The material must be dried for 4-6 hours at 80°C prior to processing at temperatures not exceeding 230°C.
