Product Description
SABIC ® LDPE nExCoat 5 is a revolutionary tubular grade without additives, which is specially developed for the extrusion coating market. Its special molecular structure provides a unique combination of properties: processing on very high line speeds, excellent adhesion on different substrates (both at lower extrusion temperatures) and excellent sealing properties, very low gel count, low MFR drop during processing and a lower extruder motor load.
