IFG PLA

IFG PLA fibers are melt spun from a sustainable, bio-based raw material that is compostable under industrial conditions (DIN 13432). IFG PLA fiber provides a bio-based solution for ground stabilization projects (turf, grass, sand) that will not affect the natural drainage properties. Due to their unique thermal properties, they also offer a bio-based solution for heat-sealing paper applications. Fibers are mainly raw white, but a range of colors can be supplied, minimum order quantities apply
