PLA tow is for factories that need a biodegradable filter tow option. It is new material, quoted to your item and destination.
Same denier titles as acetate are commonly requested (2.4Y/32,000 through 7.3Y/36,000). Filter hardness and plasticiser practice are not identical to acetate — tell us your maker model and we advise on binder (water-based preferred; triacetin may need heat).
Ask for a trial lot before a full container if this is a first run.
- PLA (polylactic acid) tow as a biodegradable filter option
- Same item range as acetate where the plant can run it
- Note: triacetin / binder settings differ from acetate — we flag this on quote
