Versalis Riblene® FM 53 F Film Grade Low Density Polyethylene
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE); Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Film Grade
Material Notes:	Riblene FM 53 F is a LDPE, with slip and antiblocking agent, suitable for blown film extrusion. Riblene FM 53 F is characterized by optimum optical properties and rigidity. Films manufactured by Riblene FM 53 F are easily heat shrinkable. Application: Riblene FM 53 F is recommended for automatic packaging where low gauge films having a certain rigidity and gloss are required (hygienic packaging). Property values reported for film extruded with BUR 1:3, thickness 70 µm. Actual properties are typical and may vary depending upon operating conditions and additive package.
