- Processing
- Lotréne® FE3000 can be easily processed on all types of extruders designed for polyethylene.
- The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 210-180 °C.
- The best and balanced properties of the blown film are achieved at blow up ratios between 2.0: 1 and 3.5:1.
- The recommended thickness range is from 40 um to 200 pm.
- Applications
- Heavy duty bags
- Industrial shrink film
- Construction film
- Agricultural film
