SABIC LDPE 2404TC43 SABIC Polyethylene, Low Density

Product Description

SABIC® LDPE 2404TC43 is a MFR 4 grade with an elevated density, a very high amount of anti block and a medium amount of slip erucamide. The grade has an excellent draw down ability. The films produced from this grade are stiff, have excellent optical properties, low CoF and no blocking.

SABIC® LDPE 2404TC43 is specially suitable for stiffer thin films for textile packaging. SABIC® LDPE 2404TC43 is a grade suitable for semi rigid crosslinked foams with chemical blowing agents and for physically blown foams.

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