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.
