Lotrene FD0270 is a premium low density polyethylene (LDPE) material developed for film extrusion applications. As a non-additivated grade, it provides excellent formulation flexibility, allowing converters to tailor additives based on specific end-use requirements.

Designed with optimized molecular structure, LDPE FD0270 delivers excellent optical performance, enabling the production of thin films with high clarity and enhanced gloss. At the same time, it ensures consistent and stable processing behavior, making it well suited for a wide range of light-duty to medium-performance packaging applications.

Main Advantages of Lotrene FD0270 LDPE

  • Superior Optical Performance. Lotrene FD0270 enables the production of films with high transparency, low haze, and excellent surface gloss, making it ideal for premium packaging applications.
  • Efficient and Stable Processing. The resin offers smooth melt flow behavior and a wide processing window, ensuring stable operation across various extrusion lines, including both blown and cast film processes.
  • Reliable Dimensional Stability. Films produced with FD0270 exhibit good dimensional stability, helping maintain consistent film quality during processing and end use.
  • Reliable Sealing Performance. The material provides reliable and consistent sealing performance, which is essential for packaging applications.
  • Flexible Formulation Capability. As a non-additive base resin, LDPE FD0270 allows converters to tailor formulations by incorporating specific additives such as slip agents, antiblock agents, or antistatic agents.

Application Areas

  • High Clarity Packaging Films. Suitable for garment bags, display packaging, and retail packaging films where visual appearance is critical.
  • Shrink Films. Applicable for light-duty shrink packaging with good clarity and surface quality.
  • Lamination Films. FD0270 can be used as a base layer in laminated film structures for food and industrial packaging.
  • Foam Applications. Also suitable for certain foam processing applications due to its balanced rheological properties.
  • Food & Consumer Packaging. Commonly used in bread bags, light-duty food packaging, and general consumer goods packaging.

Processing Recommendations

  1. Lotrene FD0270 can be easily processed on all types of extruders to make blown or cast films.
  2. The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 140-150 °C.
  3. The best properties of the blown film are achieved at blow up ratios between 2:1 and 3:1.
  4. The recommended thickness range is from 20 μm to 100 μm.
