Product Description
XLF175 is a low density polyethylene of medium density designed to meet the needs of the overwrap market. XLF175 is formulated with a BHT free antioxidant package.

XLF175 is intended primarily for applications such as the overwrap of paper products. It is necessary to add suitable levels of additives, particularly slip, to meet the conversion needs of high speed overwrapping equipment.

XLF175 is suitable for food contact applications and conforms to the requirements of the United States Food and Drug Administration CFR 21 177.1520, paragraph (c), item 2.1.
