PRODUCING POLYHYDROXYALKANOATE (PHA) BLOWN FILM

A method for producing polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) blown film comprising the steps of melting PHA material to form a molten mass with a viscosity ranging from 1400 P to 1600 P at 340° F. to 350° F. (melting point of PHA), forming a bubble from the resulting molten mass and collapsing the bubble to fo...

Zusammenfassung:A method for producing polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) blown film comprising the steps of melting PHA material to form a molten mass with a viscosity ranging from 1400 P to 1600 P at 340° F. to 350° F. (melting point of PHA), forming a bubble from the resulting molten mass and collapsing the bubble to form a film. Furthermore, due to the tight processing window or PHA compared to other blown films, PHA benefits from being produced using an enclosed climate-controlled blown film process as the climate can be controlled within the enclosure to ensure the tight processing window is maintained.
