Linear Low Density Polyethylene

LF20185
EVALENE® LF20185 is
a barefoot Linear Low
Density Polyethylene
grade with butene
(C4) as comonomer
for cast and blown film
applications.

EVALENE® LF20185 is formulated for cast and blown film applications where
stretchability and flexibility are required, especially in high performance
industrial applications. EVALENE® LF20185 cast films are ideal for stretch
wrap applications. EVALENE® LF20185 blown films are also suitable for the
lamination and core layers of coextruded films for flexible packaging.

FEATURES TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Outstanding mechanical • Stretch films
properties • Flexible packaging
• Good stretchability
• Meets FDA Philippines
food-contact requirements
• Halal certified
