Processing
  • Lotrène FD0474 can be easily processed on all types of extruders designed for polyethylene.  The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 150-140 °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 15 um to 100 pm.
Applications
  • High-clarity film for packaging of Luxury goods, Flowers, ...
  • Laundry film & garment packaging
  • Food packaging (frozen food, bread bags, zip lock bags...)
  • Display film
