Product Description
LINATHENE LL120 is an antioxidant modifier linear low density polyethylene resin for tubular blown film or slot cast film extrusion. It is produced using USIFE's UNIPOL gas-phase low-pressure. Films extruded from this resin have good toughness, high tensile strength and elongation, and outstanding puncture strength. The product offers excellent drawdown capability. LINATHENE LL120 is recommended for the manufacture of prime liner film, garment bag, freezing bag and other industrial and consumer packaging applications requiring toughness and puncture resistance. It is also recommended for certain blown film applications requiring medium clarity and for slot cast applications requiring high clarity. The use of additives, such as slip, antiblock and antioxidant, should be considered for most applications. The resin content of LINATHENE LL120 complies with Food Additive Regulation 177,1520 for Olefin Polymers par(c) 3.2. The Additives presented are sanctioned by appropriate Food Additive Regulations. It follows that LINATHENE LL120 may be used legally for all food packaging applications included holding food during cooking.
