Product Description
Eltex® P KS399 belongs to INEOS' third generation of heat seal resin and is based on the new structural concept developed for the 2nd generation terpolymer (Eltex® P KS350 series) and is successfully used by major BOPP film producers all over the world. Eltex® P KS399 is a propylene/alpha olefin copolymer specially developed for the sealing layers of "coextruded bioriented film" for food and technical packaging. It provides a unique combination of extremely low sealing temperature (90 C) and improved ease of processing, yet maintaining excellent optical properties.
