PLA - FILTON

The most important feature of FILTON is its biodegradability and therefore an excellent environmental impact because fabrics or other items produced with PLA undergo to a selfdegradation through a complex hydrolysis mechanism, catalysed by temperature, microorganisms, bacteria, humidity which jointly attack and destroy the PLA polymer chains. The end result of the biodegradation process is carbon dioxide, water and some humus. The degradation process is temperature and humidity dependent. PLA is compostable at industrial composting facilities.

PPS

A product which allows the production of fabrics with a high technical value thanks to its characteristics. We are listing its main physical characteristics:

●Excellent chemical resistance to solvents (not soluble in all the solvents under 200°C)
●Low water absorption
●Resistant to UV-Rays
●Hydrolisis Resistant

FILTON MONOFILAMENTS PROPERTIES

PLA - FILTON

Density:

1.25 g/cc

Thermal properties

PLA is stiff at room temperature

Glass transition temperature

55°C - 65° C

Moisture regain

0,4% - 0,6%

PLA has a higher LOI (limiting oxygen index) compared to most of the important polymers and this means that it is more difficult to ignite.
