NuPlastiQ® CG 1000

Chemical Family: Modifed StarchesPolysaccharides

NuPlastiQ® CG 1000 Certified Grade BioPolymers are plant-based polysaccharide, low crystallinity, thermoplastic resins that offer exceptional functional and environmental benefits. They can be used alone, but they are designed to be blended with biobased and biodegradable resins such as PLA, PHA, and PBAT. Using NuPlastiQ CG 1000 resins helps reduce both fossil fuel-based plastic content and greenhouse gas generation.

Storage and Drying: Should be stored in a sealed container in a dry location away from heat.. Delivered in a sealed container, pellets normally do not require drying prior to use. However, if left in opened containers, pellets should be dried to less than 1% moisture prior to processing. Drying of pellets can be performed by introducing warm, dry air at 60°C for 1-4 hours.
