description Product Description
L-Lactide is primarily used in the production of polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer. PLA is widely utilized in packaging materials, disposable tableware, and agricultural films due to its eco-friendly properties. In the medical field, L-Lactide-derived polymers are employed in sutures, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds because of their biocompatibility and controlled degradation rates. Additionally, it finds applications in 3D printing filaments, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. Its versatility and environmental benefits make it a valuable material in both industrial and medical sectors.
