SABIC LDPE 2402TC32 SABIC Polyethylene, Low Density

Product Description

SABIC® LDPE 2402TC32 is a grade with elevated density clarity grade with a high level of anti block and an average amount of slip agent (E=erucamide). The grade has good optics, can be easily processed and has an excellent draw down ability.

SABIC® LDPE 2402TC32 is specially suitable for thin stiffer films for automatic packaging purposes for e.g. food, bread and other consumer goods.
SABIC® LDPE 2402TC32 is very suitable for thin packaging foams produced with physical blowing gases.
The relatively high MFR of this grade allows a high output on narrow die gaps.

The product mentioned herein is in particular not tested and therefore not validated for use in pharmaceutical/
medical applications.
