QAPCO Lotrene Q2018H LLDPE Resin
QAPCO Lotrene Q2018H is a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin specifically designed for blown film extrusion.
Physical Properties
- Specific Gravity: Measured per ISO 1183, the material exhibits a specific gravity of 0.918 g/cc, consistent in both metric and English units.
- Thickness: With a thickness of 40.0 microns (1.57 mil), this specification ensures precision for thin-film applications.
- Melt Flow: As defined by ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 2.0 g/10 min under 2.16 kg (4.76 lb) at 190 °C (374 °F).
- Antiblock Level: The material contains 3200 ppm of antiblock additives, enhancing handling and preventing surface adhesion.
- Slip Level: Featuring 1500 ppm of erucamide slip agent, the formulation reduces friction for smooth processing and packaging.
