- Processing
- Lotréne® FD0474 can be easily processed on all types of extruders designed for polyethylene.
- The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 150-140 °C.
- The best properties of the blown film are achieved at blow up ratios between 2:1 and 3:1.
- The recommended thickness range is from 15 um to 100 pm.
- Applications
- High-clarity film for packaging of Luxury goods, Flowers
- Laundry film & garment packaging
- Food packaging (frozen food, bread bags, zip lock bags
- Display film
