- Notes
1) Moisture content was measured with an infrared moisture analyzer at 105°C for 10 minutes. 2) Mechanical properties were measured on injection molded parts made directly from the 50% NuPlastiQ / 50% polyethylene masterbatch. 3) The reported film properties are for a monolayer blown film that was let-down with 50% additional HDPE to a concentration of 25% NuPlastiQ. The thickness was 1.0 mil, and the blow-up ratio was 2.5:1. 4) These values are typical properties only and should not be used for specification purposes. End users should confirm results with their own tests.

- 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.
