SECTION 1: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FC 32230 is a product made with PLA composite reinforced with cellulosic fiber that
combines the advantages of better resistance with a lower carbon footprint, coming
from agricultural waste, being high quality and highly sustainable biocomposites.
Product suitable for injection molding applications.

SECTION 2: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES & GUIDELINES

FC 32230 is supplied as natural fiber pellets. Temperatures during transportation and
storage may not exceed 50°C. Storage time of unopened bags may not surpass 24
months at room temperature. Drying prior to processing is essential. The property
values listed below should be viewed as guidelines only and may vary based on
processing conditions. No warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied are made
regarding products described or regarding designs, data or information set forth.
Process temperatures must not exceed 230°C. In order to achieve high Heat Deflection
Temperatures, hot molding or annealing of the part is required.

Drying: dry the material for 4 – 6 hours at 80 °C.
