How can we improve the melt viscosity of PLA to meet the requirements of demanding polymer processing applications?
At SK Functional Polymers, our LOTADER® AX8900T reactive terpolymer offers an interesting solution for increasing melt viscosity and tailoring the rheological behaviour of PLA-based formulations.
Why consider LOTADER® AX8900T in PLA?
- Viscosity enhancement: Helps increase melt viscosity, potentially supporting processes requiring improved melt strength.
- Reactive functionality: Its epoxy groups can react with suitable functional groups in PLA, potentially modifying the polymer structure and rheological response during processing.
- Formulation flexibility: Offers opportunities to tailor PLA-based compounds to specific processing requirements.
- Material innovation: Opens up possibilities for developing PLA formulations with adjusted processing behaviour for applications where melt rheology is critical.
We continue to explore how our functional polyolefin technologies can help processors overcome material challenges and develop innovative polymer solutions.
