Product Description
HWF-852B is a certified prime grade Hexene copolymer HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT developed for production of thin gauged high stiffness paper-like Blown films. HWF-852B features BIMODAL-BROAD molecular weight distribution that greatly improves processability in HDPE equipment, outstanding film mechanical properties, and high drawdown film capability. HWF-852B applications include shoppers, grocery bags, merchant and produce bags, refuse sacks, single and multiwall liners, lamination films, meat & cheese wrap films, and as substitute films for grease-proof waxed and acid free papers. Minimum recommended film gauge is 0.4 mil, and processing temperature 210 to 230°C. HWF-852B complies with FDA regulation 21CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.2 (a) and with most international regulations concerning the use of Polyethylene in contact with food articles.
