AFFINITY* PL 1888G Polyolefin Plastomer for Packaging films is used for high speed packaging applications requiring low seal initiation temperature and good machinability (low consistent coefficient of friction and low block force). This resin is designed to give a COF of < 0.2 for an ~1.0 mil sealant layer in a coextruded film and run fast and trouble-free on most extrusion equipment, including blown film dies equipped with narrow die gaps.
