polylactic acid (thermoplastic polyester, polyester (resin), ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Thermoplastic polyester manufactured from corn starch or other renewable resources. First developed for use as a synthetic fiber during World War 2 when organic materials were in short supply. In conservation used as a protective covering for stone materials exposed outdoors. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Thermoplastisch polyester dat wordt gemaakt van maïszetmeel of andere hernieuwbare grondstoffen. Werd voor het eerst ontwikkeld als synthetische vezel tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, toen er gebrek was aan organische materialen. Wordt bij conservering gebruikt als beschermende laag voor steenmateriaal in de buitenlucht. |
