Product Description
BRALEN FB 03-55 is a film grade of low density polyethylene containing UV stabilizer and antistatic agent.

BRALEN FB 03-55 is designed for production of shrink wrapping and technical films. They are characterized by good mechanical properties, lower formation of electrostatic charge on the film surface and improved UV resistance. Recommended film thickness is 0.07 - 0.25 mm.

Lifetime of 0.12 mm film in the Middle Europe climate is approximately one year. In the case of the film downgauging or mixing of Bralen FB 03-55 with other polymers the lifetime is reduced.
