Total Lumicene® mPE M 4040 Metallocene Polyethylene, Cast Film
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Medium Density (MDPE); Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), Film Grade
Material Notes:	Lumicene® mPE M 4040 is a Lumicene® metallocene based Polyethylene with hexene as comonomer. Lumicene® mPE M 4040 can be processed at high output rates with low extrusion pressure, low neck-in, excellent drawability and gauge control in comparison with conventional LLDPE and first generation metallocene based polyethylene. The high stiffness combined with excellent optical properties brings a significant downgauging potential. Lumicene® mPE M 4040 is a versatile resin that can be used in pure or in blend for the production of both mono-layer and multilayer film. Main applications are: specialty film, hygiene film, embossed film, compounds and consumer and automatic packaging, such as produce bags, mailing and hygiene overwrap film.
