Lotrene FD0270 LDPE is an additive free grade mainly recommended for the extrusion of thin film for light and medium duty applications. The molecular structure of ldpe FD0270 makes it possible to produce very thin, clear and glossy films.
Applications of LDPE FD0270
• High clarity bags
• Thin shrink film
• Lamination film
• Foamed products
Processing
- Lotrene FD0270 can be easily processed on all types of extruders to make blown or cast films.
- The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 140-150 °C.
- The best properties of the blown film are achieved at blow up ratios between 2:1 and 3:1.
- The recommended thickness range is from 20 μm to 100 μm.
