•Superior oxygen barrier to PET and HDPE
•4x the moisture barrier of pure PLA
•Nominally lower moisture barrier than PET
Gas & Moisture Transmission
a = gr/package/day/atm
b = cc/package/day/atm
Thermal Stability
•Comparable stability to PET
•Lower melt temp = lower mfg. energy costs
•Superior stability to HDPE
Physical Strength
•Far superior physical strength to PET and HDPE
•Will not shatter like glass
