Product Description
YUCLAIR FA440U is butene-1 copolymer designed for use in agricultural mulching film application. YUCLAIR FA440U provides stronger film than ones made from competitive LLDPE film grades. Therefore YUCLAIR FA440U shows superior tensile strength, tear strength, gel-free, weatherability. Outstanding processibility make this resin an ideal choice for film application when blended with conventional LDPE. YUCLAIR FA440U can be processed readily into blown film using standard extrusion techniques.
YUCLAIR FA440U complies with FDA regulations in 21 CFR177.1520 for all food contact.
