Product Description
YUCLAIR FT860 is octene-1 copolymer designed for use in stretch wrap and casting type packaging film application.
YUCLAIR FT860 provides stronger film than ones made from competitive LLDPE film grades. Therefore YUCLAIR FT860 shows superior stiffness, tensile strength, gel-free, and processibility.
YUCLAIR FT860 can be processed readily into casting film using standard extrusion techniques.
YUCLAIR FT860 complies with FDA regulations in 21 CFR177.1520 for all food contact.
