Versalis Clearflex® FG 308 Octene Copolymer Linear Low Density Polyethylene (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Linear Low Density (LLDPE); Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), Film Grade; LLDPE/Octene, Film
Material Notes:	Clearflex FG 308 is an octene copolymer linear low density polyethylene (C8-LLDPE), with antioxidant and processing aid, suitable for blown film extrusion. Films manufactured with Clearflex FG 308 are characterized by a good balance between optical properties and mechanical performances. Main Applications: Clearflex FG 308 is recommended for applications in which good mechanical properties and sealability are required (flexible packaging with a certain rigidity). It is also the right choice for the production of silage film, either in coextrusion or in blend with LDPE. Information provided by Polimeri Europa. Versalis is the Eni subsidiary containing the plastics and rubber businesses.
