Product Description
Quattor® BF-20008 S3 is a linear low density polyethylene, butene copolymer, produced through Unipol® process and recommended for blown film extrusion blended with low density polyethylene (LDPE).
Films produced using Quattor® BF-20008 S3 have high gloss and low haze, higher mechanical performance related to LDPE and are easily welded even at high speed packaging machines.

Applications: automatic packaging (FFS), packaging for frozen products, blends with HDPE and LDPE and lamination.
