Product Description
Clearflex® H&T LFH 208 is an octene copolymer linear low density polyethyelene, with antioxidants and processing aid, suitable for blown film extrusion.

Films obtained from Clearflex® H&T LFH 208 have excellent optical properties (haze and gloss), wide sealing temperature window, together with optimal sealing resistance, outstanding tear, impact and puncture resistance. Its properties make Clearflex® H&T LFH 208 the right choice for top end performance applications.

Due to its excellent sealing behaviour, Clearflex® H&T LFH 208 is recommended for packaging of food and edible fats and for applications requiring a superior sealing performance. Its very low gel content makes it ideal for lamination. Clearflex® H&T LFH 208 is also recommended for silage stretch film production, due to its outstanding mechanical properties.
