Our polylactic acid PLA production process has been fortified by years of continuous research and improvements in lactide synthesis, purification, and polymerization.
Drawing on its solid technical strength in biochemistry and profound engineering experience in chemical unit operations, DODGEN has successfully developed process packages for biological lactic acid-to-lactide conversion and PLA ring-opening polymerization. Furthermore, they have engineered a chemical process for optically active lactic acid monomers using hydrocyanic acid and acetaldehyde, progressing from polylactide to polylactic acid synthesis.
