Clearflex® LGH 138 Polimeri Europa Polyethylene, Linear Low Density

Product Description

Clearflex® H&T LGH 138 is an octene copolymer linear low density polyethylene (C8-LLDPE), with antioxidant, slip agent, antiblocking and processing aid, suitable for blown film extrusion.

Films obtained from Clearflex® H&T LGH 138 show excellent optical properties, a wide sealing window, both hot tack and heat seal, together with low sealing initiation temperature (S.I.T.) and outstanding impact, pucnture and Elmendorf tear resistance.

Clearflex® H&T LGH 138, for its overall characteristics, is the right choice for packaging film applications requiring superior mechanical and optical properties. The excellent sealability behavior together with low gel content makes it ideal for lamination film production.
