ErcrosBio® LM 72304

Generic Family: Polylactic AcidSupplied by: Ercros, S.A.
ErcrosBio ® LM 72304 is a PLA (polylactic acid)-based thermoplastic obtained from renewable natural materials. The content of material of biological origin is over 95%.
It is suitable for the production of food packaging in accordance with the criteria of Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 1 . It is compostable in accordance with the criteria of standard EN 13432 1 .

CHARACTERISTICS:
ErcrosBio ® LM 72304 is a material intended for obtaining sheets by extrusion and subsequent thermoforming when transparency is required. It provides excellent processability in both extrusion and thermoforming.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS:
ErcrosBio ® 72304 is prepared to be processed in flat-head extruders for the production of thick sheets (> 400 µm). The material is designed for extrusion lines equipped with casting pumps to generate pressure in the head. The thermoformed pieces can be cut without causing breakages or splintering. Recommended applications, in which it can substitute PET or PS, include trays, vessels, containers, CD cases, self-sealing food containers (clam-shell), blister-type packaging attached to carton, ridged containers, disposable packaging and sales displays.
