Introduction
Ingeo biopolymer 2003D, a NatureWorks LLC product, is a thermoplastic resin derived from annually renewable resources and is specifically designed for use in fresh food packaging and food serviceware applications. Ingeo biopolymer 2003D is a transparent general purpose extrusion grade that is used naturally or as part of a formulated blend. This is a high molecular weight biopolymer grade that processes easily on conventional extrusion equipment. Extruded roll stock is readily thermoformable. See table at right for properties.

Features
2003D polymer is available in pellet form. Drying prior to processing is essential. The polymer is stable in the molten state, provided that the extrusion and drying procedures are followed.
Ingeo polymers will process on conventional extruders using general purpose screws with L/D ratios from 24:1 to 30:1 and compression ratio of 2.5:1 to 3:1. Smooth barrels are recommended.
Ingeo resins will process on conventional cast tenter equipment that has been designed for OPS or OPET with minimal modifications. Optimization to your specific equipment may require NatureWorks LLC technical support
