Abstract
PLA-containing materials, and building components containing such materials, include: polylactic acid (PLA); one or more inorganic pigments; and one or more stabilizers that includes one or more carbodiimide groups.
Claims42
A PLA-containing building component comprising:
- polylactic acid (PLA);
- at least 3 wt-% TiO2 pigment, based on the total weight of the PLA-containing building component;
- and
- at least 0.5 wt-% of one or more stabilizers comprising one or more carbodiimide groups, based on the total weight of the PLA-containing building component;
- wherein the building component is in the form of a profile extrusion.

A PLA-containing building component comprising:
- polylactic acid (PLA);
- 3 wt-% to 12 wt-% TiO2 pigment, based on the total weight of the PLA-containing building component;
- and
- 0.5 wt-% to 3.75 wt-% of one or more stabilizers comprising one or more carbodiimide groups, based on the total weight of the PLA-containing building component;
- wherein the building component is in the form of a profile extrusion.
