Polylactic acid (PLA for short), melting point of about 160 ° C, density of 1.24g / cm3, PLA monofilament , wire diameter range of 0.07 ~ 3.0mm, environmentally friendly non-toxic, superior degradability.PLA monofilaments are commonly used in high-grade toothbrush filaments, dental floss, surgical sutures, tea bags, 3D printing, and the like.
Introduction
Polylactide belongs to the biopolymer group and is manufactured entirely from renewable raw materials such as starch or sugar. The starch or the sugar is extracted from plant material and converted by means of enzymatic hydrolysis into a fermentable sugar. In the course of the next manufacturing step the carbon and other elements are converted by fermentation into lactic acid.
The polymer is formed through the polymerisation of lactic acid. In the production process any DNA is completely destroyed. PLA can be rotted down in standard composting facilities. Under the right conditions(temperature 60°℃ and 98% air humidity) the monofilaments decompose into natural sugar. The duration of this degradation is dependent on the molecular structure of the polymer.PLA also reduces the consumption of fossil fuels over its life cycle by up to 5o%. In comparison with conventional PET,15-60% less greenhouse gases are produced in the manufacture of PLA.

Biodegradable plastics are plastics that are degraded by environmental microbes after disposal and eventually completely converted into mineralized inorganic salts of carbon dioxide, water and the elements they contain. From raw materials, mainly include: polycaprolactone (PCL), polybutylene succinate (PBS), polylactic acid (PLA),polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), etc., the most well-known biodegradable plastics. It is polylactic acid.
