Product Description
COTENE™ 3993 is a metallocene based, linear low density polyethylene that exhibits superior mechanical properties when compared to traditional medium density grades. This grade has been specifically developed for demanding applications where standard grades demonstrate inferior performance. COTENE™ 3993 contains a fully formulated UV stabilisation package (with a minimum UV8 rating).

The base resin in COTENE™ 3993 is suitable for food contact applications. For detailed information on compliance to specific standards please contact your account manager.

COTENE™ 3993 is available in custom colours on request.
