Product Description
WESTLAKE low-density polyethylene EC1390 is used primarily in extrusion-coating applications that require fast line speeds and relatively low coating weights. When compared with other low-density polyethylene coating materials that have considerably lower melt indexes, EC1390 has slightly better adhesion to paper substrates and can be heat-sealed at a slightly lower temperature. However, high melt index coating materials produce slightly more neck-in and a narrower heat-sealing temperature.
