Versalis Flexirene® FH 56 A Butene Copolymer Linear Low Density Polyethylene
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Linear Low Density (LLDPE); Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), Film Grade; LLDPE/Butene, Film
Material Notes:	Flexirene FH 56 A is a butene copolymer with medium density (C4-LLDPE), with antioxidants and processing aid, suitable for blown film extrusion. Films manufactured with Flexirene FH 56 A are characterized by a good rigidity and an optimum processability. Main Applications: Flexirene FH 56 A is recommended for the production of general purpose film in blend or in coextrusion with LDPE. It is also used for the production of nets because of its perfect balance between rigidity and processability. Information provided by Polimeri Europa. Versalis is the Eni subsidiary containing the plastics and rubber businesses.
