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 70ºC, the drying time required will depend on the moisture content. Drying temperatures of above 70ºC should be avoided because of possible oxidation.
Extrusion
Processing Promyde® BF845L 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: 240ºC
- Adapter&Die: 240ºC
Conditioning
Films made of Promyde® BF845L will achieve their final dimensions and properties after equilibrium moisture absorption.
