Product Description
Soarnol H4815 is a 48 mol% ethylene content grade of Soarnol with a high melt flow rate. Soarnol H4815 has the best water resistance of all Soarnol grades and its gas barrier property is not drastically lower at high humidity. This resin is used in coextruded film, coextrusion coating, and shrink packaging.
