Product Description
LDPE film products

Applications:
21F430 is particularly suitable for the production of high quality, general purpose film and bags, including carrier bags. 21F430 is an additive free resin.

Benefits and Features
21F430 is an easily extrudable LDPE homopolymer. It offers the following properties:
  • Good film optical properties
  • Good drawdown
  • Suitable for high quality printing

If corona treatment is necessary, the level should normally be in the range 38-48 mN/m.
We recommend that you consult your INEOS O&P Europe technical representative for further advice on the use of 21F430.
