- Processing Considerations
- BC 27130 is generally used for monolayer films and is designed to be used on existing 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/PBAT Film Processing Guide for additional information.
- A typical recommended temperature profile will be in the 130°C – 165°C range.
- Depending on equipment, process conditions, and residence time, as temperatures increase in this range the glycerin plasticizer may experience some volatilization. This may cause a slight odor and/or smoke and is expected under normal processing conditions. Always use proper ventilation. See the BioBlend® BC 27130 SDS for details.
- Melt temperatures above 175°C may cause material degradation, lensing, and fish-eyes in the film.
- If extruder operation much be stopped temporarily, it is recommended to purge the material in the barrel before resuming film processing or material degradation will occur.

- Notes
- Moisture content was measured with an infrared moisture analyzer at 105°C for 10 minutes.
- Mechanical properties were measured on injection molded parts made directly from 100% BC 27130.
- The reported film properties are for a monolayer blown film. The thickness was 1.0 mil, and the blow-up ratio was 2.5:1.
- These values are typical properties only and should not be used for specification purposes. End users should confirm results with their own tests.
