Petrothene GA503027 by LyondellBasell Industries is a LLDPE (Polyethylene, Linear Low Density) plastic material.
General Information
Product Description

GA503 is a medium density, butene copolymer LLDPE resin with high draw for stiff, thin blown films. GA503 contains an antioxidant package to minimize discoloration and eliminate die build-up.

Regulatory Status:
GA503 series resins meet the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration 21 CFR 177.1520, Subpart C, Item 3.1. This regulation allows the use of this olefin polymer in" …articles or components or articles intended for use in contact with food." Specific limitations or conditions of use may apply. Contact your Equistar sales representative for more information.

Processing Techniques:
GA503 provides high output at low melt temperatures and without high pressure, high torque or shear-induced melt fracture. For improved drawdown without bubble breaks, GA503 can be blended with LDPE. It can also be blended with high performance LLDPE grades to reduce torque and horsepower requirements. Specific recommendations for type of resin and extrusion conditions can be made only when the end use, required properties and processing equipment are known. For further suggestions, please contact your Equistar sales representative.
