Product Description
LDF-820A is a certified prime resin specially designed for production of laminates and coating Blown films. LDF-820A features easy processability and very good color stability. Films exhibit good mechanical properties, resistance to pinholling and excellent heat seal performance. Applications include lamination film, extrusion coating, expandable foam and as carrier resin for color com pounding. Maximum recommended drawdown is 0.5 mils. LDF-820A contains no slip and no antiblock.
