Introduction
Ingeo biopolymer 4032D, a NatureWorks LLC product, is a thermoplastic resin derived from annually renewable resources and is specifically designed general extrusion processes when a higher melting point product is needed. Ingeo biopolymer 4032D is a general purpose extrusion grade that is used naturally or as part of a formulated blend. When formulated with nucleating agents, product may be crystallized to achieve parts with higher HDT than its amorphous counterpart. This is a high molecular weight biopolymer grade that processes easily on conventional extrusion equipment. Common nucleating agents are talc, ethylene bis-steramide and propriety offerings from third party suppliers

Features
4032D 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
