Product Description
SABIC® LDPE 1815AN00 is an additive free autoclave grade with a specific broad molecular weight distribution and a low viscosity. The material can be processed at high speeds, at low coating weights and for coextrusion with e.g. a bonding polymer, where fhin layers are required. Due to it's low zero viscosity it can be used for coatings with non wovens and textiles. Moreover it permits a low welding temperature (< 100 °C).
