FLEXOMER ETS-9066 NT 7 Dow Polyethylene, Very Low Density

Product Description

FLEXOMER™ ETS -9066 NT 7 Very Low Density Polyethylene (VLDPE) Resin is intended for use in single or multi-layer blown-film constructions or thick sheets. Films extruded from ETS- 9066 NT 7 have a high tear strength, high impact strength, and high puncture resistance and are readily heat sealable. Addition of slip and antiblock agents should be considered for most applications.

Excellent strength and toughness balance

Flexible over wide temperature range

Superior low temperature properties

Broad sealing temperature range

Complies with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) 3.1a (with restrictions)

An additive present in this product limits use only in film form for food contact applications.

Consult the regulations for complete details.
