NatureWorks 6204D by NatureWorks® LLC is a PLA (Polylactic Acid) plastic material.
General Information
Product Description

NatureWorks® PLA polymer 6204D, a NatureWorks LLC product, is a thermoplastic fiber-grade resin derived primarily from annually renewable resources. Available in pellet form, 6204D is designed for extrusion into mechanically drawn staple fibers or continuous filament, using conventional fiber spinning and drawing equipment. 6204D is typically well suited for fiber processes where deeper disperse dying in the final product is desired: partially orientated yarn (POY), fully drawn yarn (FDY), staple fibers, and continuous filament. NatureWorks® PLA 6204 can be converted into a broad range of fiber products.

Potential applications for PLA polymer 6204D include:
- Woven and knitted 100% continuous filament apparel
- Woven and knitted, intimate staple blend fabrics including blends with cotton, wool, and other fibers
- Woven and knitted fabrics and netting for civil engineering applications
- Home furnishings
