Trithene TU 8091 is a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with high molecular weight, with excellent mechanical properties and good processability. These qualities ensure the production of very wide films with uniform thickness and excellent resistance to UV-radiation. The Trithene TU 8091 resin is stabilized with a synergistic combination of a hindered amine (HALS) with UV absorbers and antioxidants. The additive package warrants thermal and light stabilization for greenhouse mid-life films with very good resistance to the traditional soil disinfecting and crop protection chemicals normally applied in agriculture. This product complies with ASTM standard D1248-IA5. Applications: Films for covering of greenhouses and both large and small tunnels. Films for applications that require high mechanical strength and high resistance to aging from solar radiation (UV radiation exposure). Resin Properties: Compressed molded plate. Method ASTM D-1928, procedure C. Film obtained on a 50mm blow film line with barrier screw, 25:1 L/D, 1.0mm die gap, 50µm gauge, 2.3:1 BUR.
