Product Description
Eltex® P KS359 offers a very low heat seal temperature (10°C below that of ELTEX P KS400 type random copolymers) and contains no technical additives. It is thus particularly appreciated by users wishing to use their own "formulas".
It is developed primarily for the sealing layer in "coextruded bioriented film" for food and technical packaging.

Applications
  • 2nd generation terpolymer specially developed for the sealing layers of "coextruded bioriented film", suitable also for coextruded cast film.
