Why Luminy® PLA?
As a versatile material, PLA can be combined with natural products such as cotton, wool, or cellulose to create 100% biobased solutions with excellent performance.
PLA is commonly used in nonwoven applications like tea bags, tissues, medical gowns, PPE, and personal hygiene products and in fiber applications including apparel, shoes, and home textiles. It is ideal for food contact applications and a compostable end-of-life.
Key Luminy® PLA grades used for fibers and nonwovens are L040, L130, LX530, and LX930. Luminy® PLA is compatible with typical nonwoven web formation technologies including meltblown, spunbond, carding and wetlaid as well as various web bonding stages, such as calendaring, air-through, needle-punching, hydro-entanglement.
At TotalEnergies Corbion, we focus on innovation. We have developed high-flow Luminy® L040 PLA specifically tailored for meltblown processing to enhance performance and sustainability.
