- Storage and Drying
BioLogiQ BioBlends are dried after production and shipped in sealed moisture-proof bags that are ready to use as supplied. They should be stored indoors in the sealed container away from heat until used.; If pellets are exposed to a humid environment, they will absorb moisture from the air. If needed, dry pellets by introducing warm dry air at no more than 80°C for 1-4 hours.; The estimated moisture content of a BioLogiQ BioBlend can be measured with an infrared moisture analyzer at 105°C for 10 minutes. The result of the measurement will not perfectly equal the moisture content, due to possible partial evaporation of plasticizer. The result from this test should be <0.5% moisture prior to processing.

- Processing Considerations
XP 24875 is designed to be diluted with polyethylene to a final NuPlastiQ® content between 10% and 40%.; XP 24875 can be run on existing process equipment with a few adjustments.; Films made with NuPlastiQ are more sensitive to processing conditions such as temperature profile, residence time, die gap, and blow-up ratio. See the NuPlastiQ Film Processing Guide for additional information.; Some equipment (multi-layer, higher output, lower residence time) may allow for higher processing temperatures (190°C - 200°C).; Melt temperatures above 205°C may cause material degradation, lensing and fish-eyes in the film.; When extruder operation has to be stopped temporarily, it is recommended to purge the material in the barrel before resuming film processing.
