I-Polylactic acid (PLA) inamandla angcono kakhulu we-tensile kanye ne-ductility. I-PLA ingabuye ikhiqizwe ngezindlela ezehlukene zokucubungula ezijwayelekile, njengokuncibilika kwe-extrusion, ukubumba umjovo, ukubumba okufutha ifilimu, ukubumba okunamagwebu nokubumba i-vacuum. Inezimo ezifanayo zokwakha nama-polymers asetshenziswa kabanzi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iphinde ibe nokusebenza okufanayo kokunyathelisa njengamafilimu endabuko. Ngale ndlela, i-polylactic acid ingenziwa ibe yimikhiqizo ehlukahlukene yesicelo ngokuya ngezidingo zezimboni ezahlukahlukene.
Ifilimu ye-Lactic acid (PLA) inokungeneka komoya okuhle, i-oxygen permeability kanye ne-carbon dioxide permeability. Ibuye ibe nezici zokuhlukanisa iphunga. Amagciwane kanye nesikhunta kulula ukunamathela ebusweni bepulasitiki e-biodegradable, ngakho-ke kukhona ukungabaza mayelana nokuphepha nokuhlanzeka. Kodwa-ke, i-polylactic acid iwukuphela kwepulasitiki ebolayo ekwazi ukumelana ne-antibacterial kanye nesikhutha.
Lapho kushiswa i-polylactic acid (i-PLA), inani layo le-calorific yokuvutha liyafana nephepha elishisiwe, okuyisigamu salelo lepulasitiki elishiswayo (njenge-polyethylene), futhi ukushiswa kwe-PLA akusoze kwakhulula amagesi anobuthi njengama-nitrides kanye ama-sulfide. Umzimba womuntu nawo uqukethe i-lactic acid ngendlela ye-monomer, ekhombisa ukuphepha kwalo mkhiqizo wokubola.
