Product Description
Borstar® FB7400 is a high density polyethylene grade for cast film.
Borstar® FB7400 contains antioxidant.
Borstar® FB7400 is an excellent material for cast film applications where high stiffness and toughness combined with high output and outstanding film appearance are required. Typical applications are hygienic films, food packaging, stretch film, labels and technical films. Borstar® FB7400 is also very well suited in coex solutions.
Borstar® FB7400 is a grade particularly suitable for cast film applications where outstanding processability is combined with superior, well balanced mechanical properties.
Borstar® FB7400 can also be used as a stiffness and toughness component in co-extrusion with other polymer polymer materials, or as a property enhancer in blends with other PE's.
