BIO-AKU® PLA-HI sheets are made from 90% PLA based on renewable raw materials and are produced in an environmentally friendly, CO₂-neutral manner according to GHG Scope 1+2.
Thanks to their high impact strength, they are ideal for demanding applications.
The sheets can be excellently machined mechanically and offer versatile possibilities for post-processing, such as thermoforming, printing, gluing, sawing, drilling or punching.
Their CO₂ footprint is significantly lower at 1.3 kg CO₂ per kilogram of BIO-AKU® PLA-HI compared to, for example, ABS, which causes 5.5 kg CO₂.
BIO-AKU® PLA-HI impresses with its sustainable production from environmentally friendly raw materials and is thus an ecologically safe choice.
As the material is biodegradable, it can either be composted or disposed of through thermal recycling – naturally in compliance with the respective local regulations.
With mechanical properties comparable to ABS, BIO-AKU® PLA-HI offers high rigidity and achieves a tensile modulus of up to 2800 MPa.
In addition, it is characterized by good resistance to polar media, making it particularly interesting for a wide variety of applications.
The material is available as calendered sheets and plates, with custom fabrications possible upon request.
If special dimensions are required, production can be individually adjusted
Thanks to its versatile properties, BIO-AKU® PLA-HI finds application in a wide variety of areas.
It is excellently suited for vacuum-formed sheets, advertising materials at checkouts, or robust signs and displays. The material is also successfully used in the production of components for water carbonators.
