Product Description
Alkathene XLC177 is an extrusion coating grade exhibiting very good drawdown. The higher density and low MFI of this grade provide low moisture vapour transmission rates and excellent hot tack.

Alkathene XLC177 has been designed specifically for milkboard coating but is also used extensively for fabric coating and production of cupboard stock .
