Product Description
LDF-219A is a certified prime resin specially designed to meet the requirements of most 1 to 3 mils thickness Blown film liner applications. LDF-219A features easy processability. Large lot size and superior lot-to-lot uniformity ensure consistent film production. Minimum recommended film thickness is 1.0 mil. LDF-219A contains no slip and no antiblock. LDF-219A complies with FDA regulation 21CFR 177.1520 (c) 2.1 + 2.2 and with most international regulations concerning the use of Polyethylene in contact with food articles.
