Blown film HDPE balances stiffness and impact.A new HDPE HDPE abbr. high-density polyethylene resin for blown film boasts a combination of stiffness and impact required for applications such as lamination lamination a laminar structure or arrangement. film, release film (bitumen bitumen (bĭty  `mən) a generic term referring to flammable, brown or black mixtures of tarlike hydrocarbons, derived naturally or by distillation from petroleum. film), paper-like film, labels, bags, and heavy-duty

Polyolefins, Elkton, Md. Film made with this 0.957-g/cc, 0.38-MI grade
has tensile strength tensile strengthRatio of the maximum load a material can support without fracture when being stretched to the original area of a cross section of the material. When stresses less than the tensile strength are removed, a material completely or partially returns to its of 5366 psi MD and 5076 psi TD; ultimate elongation of 400% MD and 480% TD; Elmendorf tear strength of 300/420 mN (MD/TD), and dart impact of 270 g. Production trials reportedly show GX4041 can provide 30% to 40% better dart impact than the current grade, GM9255F2. This HDPE reportedly runs at high output rates with excellent bubble stability, very low gel levels, and homogeneous appearance. It is also said to produce film with a very broad converting window, good layflat properties, and excellent roll configuration. Tel: (800) 955-3223 * PT Direct: 217LH |
