- Characteristics
- High transparency
- Lower melt temperature (165ºC), suitable for coextruded films with temperature sensible polymers such as EVOH
- Low crystallization speed, low curling in asymmetrical coextruded films
- Low modulus, high deformation at break, excellent tear and puncture resistance
- Sealing starting at 110-130ºC (depending on the sealing equipment), possible design of a monolayer recyclable packaging
- Higher oxygen/CO2 permeability, specially recommended for cheese and other products requiring gas release

- Application
Promyde® BF640 L is recommended for the production of
- Coextruded symmetric and asymmetric cast and blown films with very low curling
- Monolayer recyclable packaging
- Coextruded films with temperature sensible products (e.g. EVOH)
- Packaging of cheese and other products requiring gas release
- Processing Guidelines
Drying
Material is supplied pre dried and ready to process. Bags should be stored in a dry place at room temperature. Storage time should not exceed twelve months. Material from open or damaged bags should be dried in a dry-air dryer at 60ºC, the drying time required will depend on the moisture content. Drying temperatures of above 60ºC should be avoided because of possible oxidation.
Extrusion Processing
Promyde® BF640 L may be processed on standard single-flighted, three-section screws. Better results can be obtained by using high-performance screws equipped with shearing and mixing sections. The screw length should be at least 24D, and preferably 28-33D to guarantee optimum plasticizing and conveying with the high through-put rates
of film extrusion (D: screw diameter). A three-section screw should have a compression ratio (ratio of flight depth in the feed section to flight depth in the metering section) of 3:1 to 4:1.It is recommended the length of screw sections as follows (L: overall length of screw):
- Feed section: 0.25 to 0.30 x L
- Compression section: 0.15 to 0.25 x L
- Metering section: 0.4 to 0.55 x L
Excellent processing and film properties can be obtained by using following temperatures at the extruder:
- Hopper: 40-50ºC
- Extruder: 200ºC
- Adapter&Die: 200ºC
Conditioning
Films made of Promyde® BF640 L will achieve their final dimensions and properties after equilibrium moisture absorption.
