The Ingeo lactide and biopolymer product line has been extended with the addition of a high-purity, polymer-grade lactide rich in the stereoisomer meso-lactide. Ingeo M700 lactide can be used as an intermediate for copolymers, amorphous oligomers and polymers, grafted substrates, resin additives and modifiers, adhesives, coatings, elastomers, surfactants, thermosets, and solvents. Ingeo M700 is said to be a lower-cost alternative to high-priced racemic lactides and L- and D-lactides for a host of industrial applications.
