PLA & LGFPLA – Eco-Friendly and Reinforced Bioplastics PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a non-natural polyester and one of the most promising "green plastics." Known for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high mechanical strength, PLA can be completely degraded by microorganisms into CO₂ and water, making it non-toxic and environmentally friendly. PLA offers mechanical properties similar to polypropylene, while providing the gloss, clarity, and processability of polystyrene. With a lower processing temperature than polyolefins, PLA can be molded via injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, spinning, and other general plastic processes. Its applications range from disposable packaging and fibers to nonwovens, and extend to medical, chemical, pharmaceutical, and 3D printing industries. Long Glass Fiber Reinforced PLA (LGFPLA) Glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent insulation, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. When used to reinforce PLA, it creates Long Glass Fiber PLA (LGFPLA), a high-performance thermoplastic composite with glass fibers 10–25mm long, forming a 3D structure for superior strength and stability. LGFPLA is available as columnar pellets, typically 12mm (for injection molding) or 25mm (for compression molding) in length, with glass fiber content from 20% to 60%. Colors can be customized to match client requirements. Advantages of LGF vs SGF (Long Fiber vs Short Fiber PLA) Longer fiber length improves mechanical properties and part durability. High specific stiffness and strength, with excellent impact resistance — ideal for automotive parts. Improved creep resistance and dimensional stability for precise molding. Outstanding fatigue resistance and long-term reliability. Stable performance in high temperature and humid environments. Minimal fiber damage during molding due to fiber mobility within the mold.
