- Use
- They are designed for blown film applications and can be used in pure form as well as blended with other PE resins, such as LDPE or HDPE and mPE resins for mono extrusion or co-extrusion process to modify film properties.
- Lotrene® Q1018 Series are suited for many applications in the field of consumer, agricultural, industrial, food or hygiene packaging, for example: collation shrink, liners, FFS bags, heavy duty sacks, refuse, tunnel films, mulching films.
- Additive Package
PRODUCT SLIP (ERUCAMIDE) (PPM) ANTIBLOCK (PPM) THERMAL STABILIZERS
Q1018N no no Yes (blown film) Q1018H 1500 3200 Yes (blown film) - Values indicated are target values. Actual values might differ from batch to batch.
- (The above properties are measured on a blown film under following parameters: Screw 45 mm, L/D 30, die gap 2.2 mm, output 30 kg/hr, mass temperature °210C, thickness 40 pm and BUR 2.5:1)
- Processing
Lotrene Q1018 Series can be processed at high output rates with moderate extrusion pressure, good bubble stability and gage control on blown film lines designed for LLDPE. Lotréne Q1018 Series can be blended with LDPE and other PE resins in order to improve film properties or process ability on conventional mono or co extrusion machines.
