Additional information
*As PLA materials crystallize, it is advised to either have an agitated dryer, or dry at a lower temperature for a
longer period. This avoids that the pellets stick to each other during drying. Avoid prolonged residence time in
the extruder, as this can degrade the resin in the fibres.
Storage
Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.
