description Product Description

Used in biodegradable plastics for packaging, including shopping bags, disposable tableware, and bottles, due to its eco-friendly nature and ability to degrade naturally without causing pollution.

Common in 3D printing filaments because it melts at low temperatures, flows well, enables detailed printing, and does not release strong odors during use.

Applied in medical devices such as dissolvable sutures, stents, temporary scaffolds for tissue growth, and drug delivery systems, as it safely breaks down in the body over time.

Also found in textiles for apparel, hygiene products, and medical fabrics, offering breathable, sustainable alternatives to synthetic fibers suitable for sports clothing.

Gaining popularity in agriculture for mulch films that degrade naturally in soil.
