Product Description
WESTLAKE low-density polyethylene EC1924 is a resin that is widely used in the boardstock coating industry. This material has an excellent combination of low neck-in, ease of processing, good chill-roll release, low coefficient offriction (COF) (for ease of indexing carton blanks) and good heat sealability. It is characterized by high-speed processability, excellent drawdown and reliable lot-to-lot consistency.
