Borstar®FB2235 can be processed in most types of blown film equipment such as LDPE, LLDPE or HDPE extruders. The balance of draw down properties and bubble stability is superior to conventional LLDPE and LDPE. Thickness of 10 to >2000m can be processed with good bubble stability. The product is well suited for co-extrusion.
Recommended extrusion temperature is 190 - 210°C. A die gap of 1.0 - 1.8 mm will give the best balance between extruder pressure and physical properties in the film. Wider die gap gives higher machine direction orientation.
Borstar®FB2235 provides excellent mechanical properties balance by optimizing film processing parameters like Blow up ratio (BUR) and Frost Line Height (FLH). Higher impact strength can be achieved by raising the FLH. High BUR (>2) also results in improved mechanical properties.
Recommended processing conditions:
Melt temperature 190 –210°C
Die gap 1.0 – 1.8 mm
FLH 2 - 4 DD
BUR >2:1
