NOVA Chemicals NOVAPOL® LF-0718-A LDPE Film Resin
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE); Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Film Grade
Material Notes:	Homopolymer Features: Improves gloss and reduces haze in blends with LLDPE Improves melt strength and increases output in blends with LLDPE Applications: Blends with LLDPE Film properties are typical of blown film extruded on a 1.5" extruder with 3" die and 35-mil die gap at a blow up ratio of 2.5:1, but are dependent upon operating conditions. United States: NOVAPOL LF-0718-A resin complies with the specifications contained in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation 21 CFR 177.1520 for olefin polymers, para. (c) 2.1, and may thus be used in the United States as an article or component of an article intended for use in contact with food.
