Clearflex H T LFH 238 Polimeri Europa Polyethylene, Linear Low Density

Product Description

Clearflex® H&T LFH 238 is an octene copolymer linear lowdensity polyethylene (C8-LLDPE), with antioxidant and processing aid, for blown film extrusion. It contains slip and antiblocking agents.

Films obtained from Clearflex® H&T LFH 238 have excellent optical properties (haze and gloss), wide sealing temperature window, together with optimal sealing behaviour, outstanding tear, impact and puncture resistance. Its properties make Clearflex® H&T LFH 238 the right choice for top end performance applications.

Due to its excellent sealing properties, Clearflex® H&T LFH 238 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.
