Product Description
Clearflex® FG 336 is a hexene copolymer linear low density polyethylene (C6-LLDPE), with antioxidant, slip agent, antiblocking agent and processing aid, suitable for blown film extrusion.

Films obtained from Clearflex® FG 336 show high rigidity together with optimum Elmendorf tear and impact resistance.

Clearflex® FG 336 is recommended for shipping sacks, where the perfect balance between additivation (in terms of slip and antiblocking) and mechanical performances leads to the manufacture of a tough and easy peelable film. Moreover, for its sealing characteristics, together with low temperature mechanical resistance, Clearflex® FG 336 is suggested for the production of freezer bags, either in coextrusion and in blend with LDPE.
