MATERIAL-LAYER TECHNICAL DOSSIER
Primary AQUA-PHA Wall
The primary wall contains water and converts pressure and external loads into membrane and bending stresses.

01 · PRINCIPLE & RATIONALE
Intended function
and associated requirement.
The primary wall contains water and converts pressure and external loads into membrane and bending stresses.
It is the structural substrate that enables the grip, base, closure, barrier and every added function.
The blend must combine extensional processability, low-temperature toughness, barrier performance, food contact and dimensional stability.
02 · TECHNOLOGY STACK
Technologies, roles
and approval gates.
Material and process qualification
- Role
- Converts the design basis into a repeatable specification.
- Why
- Performance depends on the real commercial grade and process window.
- Approval gate
- Documented test evidence and approved specification.
03 · ARCHITECTURE
Function, material
and interfaces.
Spines, shoulder, neck and base must be designed as one nonlinear shell and correlated with physical tests.
- Water L01
- Air pocket L03
- Neck P04/P05
- Base P06 and panels P07
- 01Load-bearing shell
- 02Longitudinal spines
- 03Differentiated wall thickness
- 04Integral neck and base
04 · MASTER PARAMETER REGISTER
Everything to be defined,
measured or certified.
A field without evidence is never filled with an invented number: it remains “To be determined”, together with the method required to close it. This is what makes the technical record verifiable.

05 · INDUSTRIALISATION
From material
to final inspection.
Qualified material
PHBH/PHB blend to be developed
Process within window
Preform + ISBM or EBM after rheological screening
Controlled interfaces
Water L01 · Air pocket L03 · Neck P04/P05 · Base P06 and panels P07
CTQ + traceability
The choice between ISBM and EBM depends on rheology, preform or parison behaviour, orientation, crystallisation and cooling window.

08 · EVIDENCE POLICY
Traceability
for every parameter.
Bio-based origin does not automatically imply recyclability or compostability; both the grade and infrastructure must be qualified.
This page is the technical register for the R2 configuration. It separates design values, targets, calculations, measurements and certifications. Open fields identify the exact test or document required to close them.
