Product Description
ATTANE™ 4606G Ultra Low Density Polyethylene Copolymer as a skin layer in cast film offers excellent low temperature hot tack properties combined with outstanding tear and impact strength. In stretch film applications, ATTANE™ 4606G Ultra Low Density Polyethylene Copolymer exhibits excellent stretchability as well as good physical and cling properties. ATTANE™ 4606G Ultra Low Density Polyethylene Copolymer can also be utilised in blown film coextrusion where it is combined with other resins having excellent bubble stability allowing ATTANETM 4606G Ultra Low Density Polyethylene Copolymer to be used as a sealant in multilayer film structures.

Applications:
  • Cling layer in cast stretch film
  • Sealants in cast and blown films

Complies with:
  • EU, No 10/2011
  • U.S. FDA FCN 741
Consult the regulations for complete details.
