Product Description
Quattor® MF-18006 S3 is a metallocene linear low density polyethylene (mLLDPE), produced through Unipol® process and recommended for mono and multilayer blown film extrusion. It does not require the addition of LDPE due to its better processability in comparison to conventional LLDPE resins.
Films produced using Quattor® MF-18006 S3 exhibit, in comparison to non-metallocene LLDPE resins, higher hot tack force, much higher impact resistance and superior clarity.

Applications: automatic packaging for liquid and solid, frozen food packaging, lamination and coextrusion.
