Physical Properties
- Density: Measured by ExxonMobil Method, the density is 0.921 g/cc (0.0333 lb/in³), balancing the resin’s compatibility and formability for processing.
- Melt Flow: According to ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 6.8 g/10 min under a load of 2.16 kg and at 190 °C, catering to high-flow needs for thin-film production.
- Antiblock Level: With an unspecified test method, the antiblock level is 3000 ppm, reducing surface friction to enhance film slitting and packaging efficiency.
- Slip Level: Using an unspecified test method, the slip level is 1200 ppm, improving film surface smoothness for high-speed packaging applications.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Key Features:
- Balanced Processability: The material has a melt index that allows for easy processing on standard blown film equipment.
- High Toughness: LD 102.LC produces films with a robust combination of impact and tear strength.
- Good Optical Properties: The resin delivers films with a good balance of clarity and gloss, which enhances the visual appeal of the final packaged product.
- Excellent Heat Sealability: Provides a wide heat seal window and strong seal integrity, which is critical for producing reliable consumer goods and food packaging.
Applications:
The versatile properties of LD 102.LC make it an ideal material for a range of demanding film applications.
- General Purpose Bags: Used to produce a variety of bags, including consumer bags, bread bags, fresh produce bags, and other general-purpose packaging.
- Food and Textile Packaging: Its balanced strength and optical properties are well-suited for films used in both food packaging and textile wrapping, offering product protection and visibility.
- Co-extrusion Films: The consistent processability and film properties make it a suitable component in multi-layer co-extrusion films where layers with different properties are required.
- Shrink Films: Its good mechanical properties and processability also make it a viable option for certain shrink film applications.
