Product Description
DINALEN® 20 is low density polyethylene containing no additives. It is primarily intended for blow film extrusion while other processing techniques can be used to a lesser extent.

DINALEN® 20 exhibits very good draw-down with good balance of stiffness, mechanical and optical properties of extruded film.

DINALEN® 20 is extruded at recommended melt temperature range between 175°C and 200°C.

Recommended film thickness: 0.050 mm to 0.200 mm.
