Eastman 1830F Polyethylene  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE)

Material Notes: Polyethylene 1830F is a low-density formulation with no slip or antiblock. It is suggested for film applications requiring high clarity, good tear and impact strength, a wide heat sealing range and good printability. This product may be used as a component of packages used for holding food during cooking

List of Applications:

  • Converter film for food
  • Flexible medical
  • Industrial packaging

low density polyethylene 1830F may lawfully be used in food-contact applications under FDA regulations at 21 CFR 177.1520(c)(2.2).

Information supplied by the manufacturer.

Information from manufacturer data sheet.

Eastman Chemical Company sold its polyethylene business to Westlake Chemical Corporation in Dec. 2006. This grade no longer appears in the Westlake product line.

Key Words: High clarity, good tear and impact strength, a wide heat sealing range and good printability
