High Performance Grades
We recently announced the addition of new high productivity & performance grades 3100HP and 6100D to the Ingeo family of biopolymers. These new grades bring new features to the Ingeo performance portfolio including:
- faster quiescent crystallization speeds (leading to faster cycle times)
- higher levels of crystallinity
- higher stiffness above the glass transition temperature (Tg)
- higher crystalline melting temperatures
- higher degrees of stress-induced crystallization at lower strain levels (or higher temperatures)
These new products offer structure & property capabilities that can enhance performance across a broad range of applications including:
- injection molding
- profile extrusion
- sheet extrusion
- thermoforming
- rotational molding
- compression molding
- cast, blown (inflation) and oriented films
- fibers, filaments, textiles, nonwovens and spunmelt nonwovens
- foam applications
- emulsions and coatings
- composites, blends or reactively coupled polymer systems
- blow molding
- injection blow molding
- extrusion blow molding
- injection-stretch blow molding
- filament or substrate for 3D printing
