LG R3410 Random Copolymer PP Resin
LG R3410 is a random copolymer polypropylene (PP) from LG Chem, designed for high-clarity cast and BOPP film extrusion
Physical Properties
- Specific Gravity: Measured using injection – molded samples in accordance with ASTM D1505, it is 0.900 g/cc, indicating the ratio of its density to that of a reference substance.
- Melt Flow: As per ASTM D1238 standards, at a temperature of 230 °C (446 °F) under a load of 2.16 kg (4.76 lb), the melt flow rate is 8.0 g/10 min, showing its flowability during processing.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polypropylene – Ethylene Random Copolymer
- Key Features & Characteristics:
- Exceptional Transparency and Gloss: This material offers superior clarity and a high-gloss finish, making it an excellent choice for films where visual appeal is critical.
- Low Heat Sealing Temperature: This feature allows for a wider processing window and faster sealing, which is crucial for high-speed packaging lines.
- Good Processability: The material’s flow properties are optimized for high-speed film extrusion, enabling the production of thin, consistent films with minimal defects.
- Good Mechanical Properties: It provides a balanced profile of stiffness and toughness, ensuring that finished films are durable and resistant to punctures.
Applications:
The combination of high transparency, low sealing temperature, and good processability makes LG R3410 ideal for a variety of clear packaging films.
- Food packaging films: Used for clear bags and wraps for snacks, baked goods, and other food items that benefit from a premium, transparent appearance.
- Textile and apparel packaging: Suitable for packaging clothing, hosiery, and other textile products, providing a clear view of the contents.
- BOPP films: This grade is specifically designed for the BOPP process, which produces high-clarity, high-strength films for packaging.
- General-purpose packaging: Its balanced properties make it a versatile choice for a wide range of transparent packaging applications.
