NatureWorks® Ingeo™ 4043D General Purpose Film Grade Biopolymer
Categories: Polymer; Film; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polylactic Acid (PLA) Biopolymer

Material Notes: Ingeo 4043D can be converted into a biaxially oriented film with use temperatures up to 265ºF (130ºC). This film has excellent optics, good machinability and excellent twist and deadfold. These properties make 4043D film an ideal candidate for candy twist wrap and other packaging applications. Additional properties include advantageous barrier to flavor and grease and superior oil resistance.
