LyondellBasell Petrothene® GA501020 Linear Low Density Polyethylene
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Linear Low Density (LLDPE); Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), Film Grade
Material Notes:	Applications PETROTHENE GA 501series of resins are pelletized linear low density polyethylene for film extrusion applications requiring excellent drawdown and toughness. These resins have excellent puncture resistance, elongation and heat seal strength. Applications include heavy duty shipping sacks, prime liners, commercial and industrial packaging, as well as food and consumer packaging. Processing Techniques Recommended conditions are 400-450°F melt temperature and a 1.5-3.01:1 blow-up ratio. Using proper techniques, this product can readily be drawn below 0.90 mil at optimum production rates. Specific recommendations for type of resin and extrusion conditions can be made only when the end use, required properties and processing equipment are known. Regulatory Status GA 501 series resins meet the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration regulation, 21 CFR 177.1520. This regulation allows the use of this olefin polymer in "…articles or components of articles intended for use in contact with food…" Specific limitations or conditions of use may apply. GA 501 is available without additives or fully formulated with flip and antiblock additives. Other Information Blow-Up ratio 2.1:1. This product is from the former Equistar product line.
