- Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
- Plastics & Elastomers Processing Methods
- Processing
- Lotrène MG20 can be processed on all types of injection molding machines. The temperatures and pressures used for the processing of Lotrène MG20 are normal for the injection of medium melt flow index low-density polyethylene,
- The melt temperature range suggested is between 170°C and 240°C. However, optimum conditions are dependant on the equipment used (presses, molds, etc.) and the articles under production (appearance, size, shape, etc.).
- Applications
- Flexible household articles
- Lids & caps
- Flower pots
- Master batches
