Storage and Drying

BioLogiQ BioBlends are dried after production and shipped in sealed moisture-proof bags that are ready to use assupplied. 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 byintroducing warm dry air at no more than 60°C for 1-4 hours.; The estimated moisture content of a BioLogiQ BioBlend can be measured with an infrared moisture analyzer at105°C for 10 minutes. The result of the measurement will not perfectly equal the moisture content, due to possiblepartial evaporation of plasticizer. The result from this test should be <0.5% moisture prior to processing.

Processing Considerations

BC 27240 can be run on existing processing equipment and is generally used for monolayer films.; Melt temperatures above 175°C may cause material degradation, lensing, and fish-eyes in the film.; If extruder operation must be stopped temporarily, it is recommended to purge the material in the barrel before resuming film processing or material degradation will occur.
