Product Description
Himod FT3280 is a tubular, low-density polyethylene grade for the production of packaging film.

Compared to standard LDPE grades, the Himod LDPE products provide a combination of higher stiffness and improved optical properties. Benefits can be obtained in terms of better down gauging possibilities and improved processability. Excellent printing quality is obtained due to high clarity and better layflat.

Himod FT3280 is intended for applications like:
  • Stiff, transparent shrink films with high surface gloss
  • Co-extrusion applications

Himod FT3280 contains no additives.
