NatureWorks® Ingeo™ 6201D Fiber Grade PLA (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polylactic Acid (PLA) Biopolymer
Material Notes:	NatureWorks® PLA polymer 6201D is a thermoplastic fiber-grade resin derived primarily from annually renewable resources. Available in pellet form, 6201D is designed for extrusion into mechanically drawn staple fibers or continuous filament, using conventional fiber spinning and drawing equipment. 6201D is typically well suited for fiber processes where lower fiber shrinkage is desired: partially orientated yarn (POY), fully drawn yarn (FDY), staple fibers, and continuous filament. NatureWorks® PLA 6201D can be converted into a broad range of fiber products. Potential applications for PLA polymer 6201D include Woven and knitted 100% continuous filament apparel; Woven and knitted, intimate staple blend fabrics including blends with cotton, wool, and other fibers; Woven and knitted fabrics and netting for civil engineering applications; Home furnishings
