SABIC HP2023NN is a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin designed for blown film extrusion. It is used in flexible packaging applications that require a balance of optical quality, mechanical properties, and processing performance.

The grade contains no added slip agents, antiblock agents, or antioxidants, allowing film manufacturers to tailor their formulations to specific production and end-use requirements. Typical applications include shrink films, lamination films, produce bags, textile packaging, and general-purpose bags.

Features of SABIC HP2023NN

  • Good Drawdown Performance. SABIC LDPE HP2023NN offers good drawdown characteristics, supporting the production of thin films with controlled thickness and consistent processing performance. Its typical melt flow rate of 2.0 g/10 min makes it suitable for blown film extrusion under appropriate operating conditions.
  • Good Optical Properties. With a typical haze value of 8% and a gloss value of 61 at 45°, HP2023NN provides a useful balance of film clarity and surface appearance. These properties help manufacturers meet packaging requirements where visual presentation is important.
  • Balanced Mechanical Properties. The grade exhibits tensile strength and elongation characteristics suitable for flexible film production. Its mechanical properties can be evaluated to meet requirements for film handling, converting, and end-use performance.
  • Additive-Free Formulation. HP2023NN contains no added slip agents, antiblock agents, or antioxidants. This allows manufacturers to customize the additive package according to their requirements for surface friction, film separation, and processing stability.
  • Versatile Blown Film Processing. Designed for blown film extrusion, LDPE HP2023NN can be processed into films with different thicknesses and formulations. Actual production results depend on equipment configuration, extrusion parameters, cooling conditions, and the selected additive system.

Recommended Applications of LDPE HP2023NN

  1. Shrink Films. Sabic HP2023NN is suitable for assessment in packaging formats that require controlled film formation, product presentation, and shrink performance. Final suitability depends on the required shrink characteristics and packaging-line conditions.
  2. Lamination Films. This grade supports the production of selected flexible packaging films. Manufacturers should evaluate its compatibility with the substrate, adhesive system, layer structure, and downstream converting requirements.
  3. Produce Bags. LDPE HP2023NN can be used to produce bags for fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products. Manufacturers should select the appropriate film thickness and assess strength, opening performance, and compliance with applicable food-contact regulations.
  4. Textile Packaging Films. It is suitable for evaluation in packaging for garments, fabrics, and household textiles. Film specifications should reflect package dimensions, handling requirements, and transportation conditions.
  5. General-Purpose Bags. The resin can be considered for shopping bags, T-shirt bags, and other flexible packaging products. Final product design should account for load requirements, tear resistance, sealing performance, and film-handling properties.
