PACKAGING AND STORAGE
Packaging Specifications: 25 kg/bag (sealed aluminum foil bag); 750 kg/bag (aluminum/plastic
composite bulk bag).
Storage Conditions: To ensure the optimal use of the material, it is recommended to store it in its
original packaging in a cool and dry environment. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, and sources
of ignition.
Shelf Life: 18 months.
PROCESSING CONDITIONS
To prevent the degradation of PHA during processing, it is recommended to use a screw combination
with low shear force and to carry out any necessary drying before starting.
Section Temperature Precaution
Dry for 4-6 hours to ensure moisture content is below 500 ppm.
Drying 60-80 °C Maintain drying temperature below 80 °C to prevent material from
sticking together.
Feed 100-120 °C
Melting & Mixing 140-165 °C Adjustments can be made according to actual processing conditions;
temperatures exceeding 180 °C will result in thermal degradation of the
Melt Conveying 80-140 °C material, leading to decrease in molecular weight.
Die 80-140 °C
The material's crystallization rate is significantly influenced by the
Molding/Cooling 40-50 °C molding/cooling temperature. If it exceeds this temperature range, the
material's crystallization will slow down, leading to processing failure.
