LyondellBasell Petrothene® Select GS710062 High Performance Hexene (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Linear Low Density (LLDPE); Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), Film Grade; LLDPE/Hexene, Film Grade
Material Notes:	Applications The PETROTHENE SELECT series of resins are pelletized, high performance hexene, linear low density polyethylenes for applications requiring superior strength and toughness. These products offer significant improvements in mechanical properties and excellent additive homogeneity without sacrificing processability compared to conventional Hexene LLDPE materials. Applications include trash and can liners, commercial and industrial packaging, as well as consumer packaging. The PETROTHENE SELECT series resins offers enhanced film strength, drawdown, toughness and heat seal strength. Regulatory Status PETROTHENE SELECT series resins meet the specifications of the Food and Drug Administration, regulation 21 CFR 177.1520, Subpart C, Item 3.1a. This regulation allows the use of this olefin polymer in "…articles or components or articles intended for use in contact with food." Processing Recommended processing conditions for the SELECT series are a 400°F-450°F melt temperature and a 2.0 to 3.5 blow-up ratio. This product is from the former Equistar product line.
