Processing
- FB3003 LDPE can be easily processed on all types of extruders designed for polyethylene.
- The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 180-210 °C.
- The best and balanced properties of the blown film are achieved at blow up ratios between 2:1 and 3.5:1.
- The recommended thickness range is from 50 μm to 250 μm.
