Total Lumicene® mPE M6040 S01 Metallocene Polyethylene, Cast Film
Categories: Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); High Density (HDPE); High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Film Grade

Material Notes: Lumicene® mPE M 6040 S01 is a second generation metallocene high density polyethylene.

Lumicene® mPE M 6040 S01 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 good optical properties brings a significant down-gauging potential.

Lumicene® mPE M 6040 S01 is a versatile resin that can be used in pure or in blend for the production of both monolayer and multilayer film. Typical applications are: specialty film, hygiene film, embossed film, compounds and consumer and automatic packaging, such as produce bags, mailing and overwrap film. The high density of Lumicene® mPE M 6040 S01 enables its use in applications with moisture barrier requirements, such as dry food packaging, and brings improved heat resistance, compared to commonly used HDPE.
