Product Description
ATTANE™ NG 4701G Polyethylene Resin is a great abuse resistance copolymer offering extremely high impact strength, combined with good tear and exceptional optics. It has the added benefit of being easy to process (low melt temperature, low extruder amps and low screen pack backpressure) which translates into quality film rolls due to its bubble stability.

Main Characteristics:
  • Ultra low density ethylene/octene copolymer
  • High performance film applications

Complies with:
  • U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520(c)3.2a.
  • Canadian HPFB No Objection
Consult the regulations for complete details.
