LyondellBasell Starflex® GM1835CAX01 Metallocene Linear Low Density Polyethylene, Film Extrusion Grade  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Linear Low Density (LLDPE); Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), Film Grade
Material Notes: Starflex GM1835CAX01 is a pelletized mLLDPE resin for use in cast film applications that require maximum strength and toughness. GM1835CAX01 contains antioxidant but does not contain slip or antiblock.

Regulatory Status: GM1835CAX01 meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration 21 CFR 177.1520. This regulation allows for, among other things, the use of this olefin polymer in” …articles or components or articles intended for use in contact with food.” Certain limitations or conditions of use may apply. Contact your Equistar sales representative for more information.

Recommended processing conditions for GM1835CAX01 are a 400° - 500°F melt temperature. Using proper techniques, these products can readily be drawn below 0.9 mils at optimum production rates. Specific recommendations for type of mLLDPE resin and extrusion conditions can only be made when the end use, required properties and extrusion equipment are known.

This product is from the former Equistar product line.
