Product Description
SABIC® LLDPE 726NE is a butene linear low density polyethylene resin. This grade is designed to give blown films a relatively high stiffness for good machinability and a good overall balance of other performance properties, such as puncture resistance, impact strength and heat sealability.

Typical applications for SABIC® LLDPE 726NE are shipping sacks, produce bags, can liners and carrier bags. SABIC® LLDPE 726NE has very good optical properties when blended with a LDPE (15-85%).

The product mentioned herein is in particular not tested and therefore not validated for use in pharmaceutical/medical applications.
