ALCUDIA 2202-F Repsol YPF Polyethylene, Low Density

Product Description

ALCUDIA® 2202-F is a natural low density polyethylene grade, produced by high pressure tubular technology, for blown or cast film applications. This material offers easy processability and good balance of mechanical and optical properties. It does not contain any additives.
ALCUDIA® 2202-F fulfils the food contact regulations in most countries.
Applications include: general packaging film, heavy duty sacks, and shrink film with high mechanical resistance.
ALCUDIA® 2202-F is also specially designed for insulation of Low Voltage Power Cables.
ALCUDIA® 2202-F is a high molecular weight, Low Density Polyethylene which offers easy processing combined with good mechanical properties. Its molecular characteristics make it be an excellent product for the Monosil process. The outstanding features of this grade is its crosslinking efficiency.
ALCUDIA® 2202-F does not contain antioxidant therefore its addition is necessary to guarantee thermal stability of the final product.
