PLA Pellets: Purified Lactide Polymerised with a Trace of Litharge
PLA (polylactide) is the polymer of lactic acid, the stock for PLA filament. Schneider's du Pont patent (US 2,703,316, 1955) made a tough, clear polymer by heating very pure lactide with a trace of litharge in a closed, evacuated vessel: at 180 °C it was done in 6½ hours. Above 200 °C the polymer falls back to lactide. Extruding it and cutting the strand into pellets is our step.
The picture: our diagram.

Weigh 10 parts of purified lactide (melting at 125 °C in the patent's example; it must melt at 120 °C or above) and 0.004 part litharge into the reaction vessel.

Heat at 180 °C for 6½ hours. Do not go above 200 °C, where the polymer turns back to lactide. The product is a clear, colourless polymer (the example's softened at about 82 °C).
