SABIC 2202U0 LDPE Resin
SABIC 2202U0 is a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) homopolymer resin designed for blown film extrusion and extrusion coating applications.
Physical Properties
- Density: Tested per ASTM D1505, the density measures 0.922 g/cc (0.0333 lb/in³), an Ultra Melt Strength (UMS) grade for foams.
- Melt Flow: Evaluated at 190°C with a 2.16 kg load per ISO 1133, the rate is 1.9 g/10 min, applicable to crosslinked and non-crosslinked foams.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material:Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Key Features:
- Ultra Melt Strength (UMS) grade for superior foam expansion control and cell structure stability.
- Supports cross-linked and non-cross-linked foam systems, adapting to diverse mechanical property requirements.
- Compatible with a wide range of blowing agents for flexible formulation design.
Applications:
The balanced and reliable properties of SABIC® 2202U0 make it an ideal material for a range of demanding film and coating applications.
- General Purpose Bags: Used for producing 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.
- Extrusion Coating: The resin’s properties make it a viable option for extrusion coating applications, such as liquid cartons, paper, and aluminum foil lamination.
- 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.
