Key Parameters of Futeon™ PLA

The Futeon™ portfolio is defined by two key parameters to ensure you find the right fit for your application: 

  • Melt Flow Index (MFI): Determines the flow rate of the melted material, influencing processability and application suitability. 
  • D-Lactic Acid Content: Affects the polymer’s physical properties, such as strength and thermal resistance.
