Processing
  • Lotrène® FB5026 can be easily processed on all types of extruders designed for polyethylene. The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 180-160 °C. The best properties of the blown film are achieved at low up ratios between 2:1 and 3:1. The recommended thickness range is from 40 μm to 200 μm.
Applications
  • Milk bags (pouches)
  • Shopping bags
  • Medium duty carrier bags
  • Industrial liners
  • Shrink wrap for light and medium duty
