Ingeo 4043D
Ingeo 4043D – a product from NatureWorks LLC – can be converted into a biaxially oriented film with use temperatures up to 265ºF (130ºC). This film has excellent optics, good machinability and excellent twist and deadfold. These properties make 4043D film an ideal candidate for candy twist wrap and other packaging applications.
Introduction
Ingeo™ Biopolymer 4043D
Biaxially Oriented Films – General Purpose
Ingeo 4043D – a product from NatureWorks LLC – can be converted into a biaxially oriented film with use temperatures up to 265ºF (130ºC).
This film has excellent optics, good machinability and excellent twist and deadfold.
These properties make 4043D film an ideal candidate for candy twist wrap and other packaging applications.
Additional properties include advantageous barrier to flavor and grease and superior oil resistance.

Features
- 4043D 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
