Natureworks Ingeo 4032D

About this product

Ingeo biopolymer 4032Dis derived from annually renewable resources, specifically designed for 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.

Potential applications for Ingeo biopolymer 4032D include:

• Signage
• Gift Cards
• Profiles

Ingeo 4032D can be converted into a biaxially oriented film with use temperatures up to 150'C. This film has excellent optics, good machinability and excellent twist and deadfold. These properties make 4032D film an ideal product for laminations and other packaging applications. Additional properties include barrier to flavor and grease and oil resistance.
