Product Description
Clearflex® FG 308 is an octene linear low density polyethylene (C8-LLDPE), additivated with antioxidant and processing aid, suitable for blown film extrusion.

Film manufactured with Clearflex® FG 308 are characterised by a good balance between optical properties and mechanical performances.

Clearflex® FG 308 is recommended for applications in which good mechanical properties and sealability are requested (flexible packaging with a certain rigidity). It is also the right choice for the production of silage film, either in coextrusion or in blend with LDPE.
