Product Description
Clyrell EC1941 is a medium flow heterophasic copolymer specially designed for film applications. Films produced with Clyrell EC1941 will show very low gel level.
Clyrell EC1941 films are also characterized by a high OTR and WVTR making an excellent breathable film for fresh produce. The excellent balance of toughness and mechanical properties is coupled with very low temperature resistance and easy processing. Clyrell EC1941 is suitable for food contact. Typical applications of Clyrell EC1941 are in food packaging, stationary film in Monoaxial and Biaxial oriented film.
Clyrell EC1941 contains no slip or antiblocking agents.
