Dow AFFINITY™ PL 1850 Polyolefin Plastomer
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Elastomer, TPE
Material Notes:	AFFINITY® PL 1850 polyolefin plastomer is an ethylene alpha-olefin resin designed to provide blown and cast film products with low temperature sealability, excellent optics and good abuse resistance. It finds applications as a sealant layer in multilayer film structures for dry and liquid packaging. AFFINITY PL 1850 has excellent compatibility with other polyolefins, allowing efficient blending and coextrusion. It complies with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.1520c3.1b, which allows for its use in direct food contact applications. Film properties below based on a film thickness of 25 µm.
