Osterlene LD-1.8-921 by Osterman & Company is a LDPE (Polyethylene, Low Density) plastic material.

General Information

Product Description

LD-1.8-921 is a series of homopolymer resins that combine premium clarity with strength and stiffness.
LD-1.8-921 exhibits good impact strength on both flat and creased film. It is recommended for textile packaging, light produce, bread bags and other thin packaging films enhanced by clarity and sparkle. The optical values of LD-1.8-921 actually improve with decreases in film gauge and are maintained at wide die gap settings. This leads to important cost savings. With wider die gaps back pressures are reduced, as are extrusion costs.
LD-1.8-921 meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration, 21 CFR Section 177.1520. This regulation allows the use of this olefin polymer in "...articles or components of articles intended for use in contact with food." Specific limitations may apply.
