Product Description
Description:
AC59 resin is a High Density Polyethylene, homopolymer, produced by solution process, designed for monofilament applications. It contains antioxidant additives.

Application:
Film extrusion; monofilament; raffia; raschel; nets; oriented structures; general use.

Process:
The optimum processing conditions vary with the type of equipment used in the production:
  • cast film - typical temperature profile: 170 to 220°C.
  • blown film - typical temperature profile: 170 to 220°C.
  • monofilament - typical temperature profile: 170 to 220°C.
