KRITILEN® IR550

1 of 30 products in this brand
KRITILEN® IR550 contains an effective inorganic Infra-Red absorber. Recommended addition in LDPE films is 5%-15% depending on film thickness and required "thermic effect". For LDPE/EVA co-extruded films, recommended addition is 2%-10% depending on film thickness, VA content of the film and required "thermic effect".

Functions: IR Absorber

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Carrier: Polyethylenes (PE), Resin-based

Features: Cost Effective, Ease of Handling, Frost Resistant
