Product Description
Clearflex® CLD0 is a linear low density polyethylene, with antioxidants, characterised by a very low density (VLDPE).

The resin is produced with a proprietary technology. Stretch films manufacturered with Clearflex CL D0 have high stretchability, outstanding clarity and very high constancy in cling effect.

Clearflex CL D0 is recommended as a cling agent in stretch film but it is also used for applications in which soft touch and flexibility are required, for the improvement of impact resistance when uses as additive in blend with other polyolefins formulated with or without mineral fillers.
