Polylactic acid (PLA) ili ndi mphamvu yabwino kwambiri komanso ductility. PLA imatha kupangidwanso ndi njira zosiyanasiyana zopangira, monga kusungunula kwa extrusion, kuumba jekeseni, kuumba filimu, kupanga thovu ndi kuumba vacuum. Ili ndi mawonekedwe ofanana ndi ma polima omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri. Kuonjezera apo, ilinso ndi ntchito yosindikiza yofanana ndi mafilimu achikhalidwe. Mwanjira iyi, asidi a polylactic amatha kupangidwa kukhala zinthu zosiyanasiyana zogwiritsira ntchito molingana ndi zosowa zamafakitale osiyanasiyana.
Filimu ya Lactic acid (PLA) imakhala ndi mpweya wabwino, mpweya wabwino komanso mpweya wa carbon dioxide. Lilinso ndi makhalidwe kudzipatula fungo. Mavairasi ndi nkhungu ndizosavuta kumamatira pamwamba pa mapulasitiki owonongeka, kotero pali kukayikira za chitetezo ndi ukhondo. Komabe, asidi wa polylactic ndiye mapulasitiki okhawo omwe amatha kuwonongeka ndi antibacterial ndi mildew.
Pamene incinerating asidi polylactic (PLA), kuyaka kwake calorific mtengo ndi chimodzimodzi ndi pepala incinerated, amene ndi theka la incinerating mapulasitiki chikhalidwe (monga polyethylene), ndi incineration wa PLA sadzatulutsa mpweya wapoizoni monga nitrides ndi sulfides. Thupi la munthu limakhalanso ndi lactic acid mu mawonekedwe a monomer, zomwe zimasonyeza chitetezo cha mankhwalawa.
