ʻO ka waikawa Polylactic (PLA) ka ikaika tensile maikaʻi loa a me ka ductility. Hiki ke hana ʻia ka PLA e nā ʻano hana maʻamau like ʻole, e like me ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka extrusion molding, injection molding, film blowing molding, foaming molding a me ka vacuum molding. Loaʻa iā ia nā kūlana hoʻokumu like me nā polymers i hoʻohana nui ʻia. Eia kekahi, loaʻa iā ia ka hana paʻi like me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni kuʻuna. Ma kēia ʻano, hiki ke hana ʻia ka waikawa polylactic i nā huahana noi like ʻole e like me nā pono o nā ʻoihana like ʻole.
Loaʻa i ka ʻili lactic acid (PLA) ka permeability maikaʻi o ka ea, ka permeability oxygen a me ke kalapona dioxide permeability. Loaʻa iā ia nā ʻano o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka ʻala. He maʻalahi nā virus a me nā ʻōpala e hoʻopili i ka ʻili o nā plastics biodegradable, no laila aia nā kānalua e pili ana i ka palekana a me ka maʻemaʻe. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka polylactic acid wale nō ka plastics biodegradable me ka pale antibacterial a me ka mildew maikaʻi loa.
I ka puhi ʻana i ka waikawa polylactic (PLA), ua like kona waiwai hoʻomehana kuni me ko ka pepa i puhi ʻia, ʻo ia ka hapalua o ke kuni ʻana i nā plastics kuʻuna (e like me ka polyethylene), a ʻo ka puhi ʻana o PLA ʻaʻole loa e hoʻokuʻu i nā kinoea ʻawahia e like me nā nitrides a me nā sulfides. Loaʻa pū i ke kino kanaka ka waikawa lactic ma ke ʻano o ka monomer, e hōʻike ana i ka palekana o kēia huahana palaho.
