Application

NatureWorks® PLA polymer 7000D– a NatureWorks LLC product–is a bottles grade resin designed for injection stretch blow molded applications, using conventional ISBM equipment.

PLA polymer 7000D typically processes at lower temperatures than PET and can retain a greater level of detail on conventional equipment.

Processing Information

Blow Molding Container The base of any given bottle has a thicker material distribution than the sidewall. This thick area in the bottle needs to be distributed well and cooled quickly. This helps keep the base from deforming because the material is still warm in this area. A base design that includes ribs and a high pushup for reinforcement is recommended.
