This unique medium molecular weight distribution resin has a wide processing window and produces film with a combination of toughness and tensile. D252/D257 may be used straight, in blends, or coextruded with HMW-HDPE, LLDPE, and LDPE. It is suited in blends with LLDPE to increase melt strength and processing rate of LLDPE. In thick gauge heavy duty applications, the benefit of the high molecular weight tail is seen in puncture resistance. Processing is excellent on many types of equipment and under a variety of conditions, including high stalk. Meets FDA regulations for food packaging below cooking temperatures. D257 contains premium stabilizer. Data provided by Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, LP. |
