General Information
Product Description
DOW LDPE 410E Low Density Polyethylene Resin is a high clarity resin designed for lamination film and clarity over wrap
applications. This resin does not contain slip and antiblock additives. It can be readily extruded using conventional blown film
techniques utilising melt temperatures between 170 and 195°C; and cast film using temperatures between 180 and 240 °C. This
resin when properly fabricated shows: excellent processability and draw down, outstanding toughness and impact properties,
superior optical properties, excellent tensile and tear strength.
Applications:
• Lamination films
• Food packaging films
• Hygiene films
• Cast films
• Air-bubble film
• Foamed PE
• Extrusion coating
Complies with:
• U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520(c)2.2
• EU, No 10/2011
Consult the regulations for complete details.
