Product Description
YUCLAIR FG400 is butene-1 copolymer designed for use in food wrap film application. YUCLAIR FG400 provides stronger film than ones made from competitive LLDPE film grades. Therefore YUCLAIR FG400 shows superior tensile strength, tear strength, gel-free, cling property. Outstanding clarity and good processibility make this resin an ideal choice for film application when blended with conventional LDPE.
YUCLAIR FG400 can be processed readily into blown film using standard extrusion techniques.
YUCLAIR FG400 complies with FDA regulations in 21 CFR177.1520 for all food contact.
