Fasson® PLA Clear/S9500/40#BG
Spec# B2540
Facestock:
Fasson® PLA Clear is a corona-treated, clear, biaxially oriented polylactic acid film with a glossy appearance. PLA Clear is a compostable film made of a renewable source. It can be used for all kinds of applications, including food (salads, cheese, yogurt, etc.) and soft drinks, but especially for those types of applications where the complete packaging should be biodegradable. For these applications, the use of biodegradable inks is recommended.

Due to the high stiffness of the film, care should be taken with use of non-uniform surfaces, and where a very high level of squeezability is desired. PLA Clear film also has a low water-vapor barrier. Because of its nature, care should taken in wet conditions for long-term applications. Preliminary tests are, therefore, recommended prior to use. It is also recommended that storage be in its original wrapping, away from any source of local heating or direct sunlight.

This product offers very good die-cutting properties. PLA Clear can be converted by UV letterpress and offset printing processes. Nitrocellulose-based inks and water-based inks are suitable. For applications on compostable packaging, the use of compostable inks is recommended. Please consult your printing ink supplier about the most suitable printing inks. To ensure optimum wettabilty and ink anchorage, additional in-line corona treatment is required. Because of the heat sensitivity of the face stock, the drying temperature needs to be reduced to the lowest possible temperature. Opposed to this, the air flow to dry the inks needs to be increased.
