- Processing
- Lotrêne F0374 can be easily processed on all types of extruders to make blown or cast fims The melt tomperature is suggested to be in the range of 140-150 °C. The best properties of the blown fimae achieved at blow up ralios between 2.5:1 and 3.5:1. To avoid blocking and shrinkage on the reel, the temperature at the nip rolls and take off should be kept as close as possible to the ambient temperature. The recommended thickness range is from 20 pm 100 pm.
- Applications
- Alm for light duty packaging
- Laundry flm
- Display film
- Broadbags
