Freeze-tolerant resin

What's called the first-ever freeze-tolerant resin, CP-INJ-13, reportedly retains rigidity in freezing temperatures, so is suitable for frozen food applications including ice cream containers. The PLA-based resin provides structural integrity to –35-deg C, the co. says, with tensile elongation about 10 times greater.
