Applications
PETROTHENE NA 206-000 is an extrusion coating resin especially recommended for high-speed, light weight coating applications. The resin can be drawn to a 3 lb/ream coating weight at line speeds in excess of 1500 fpm with minimum neck-in and no edge weave. It is recommended for locker wraps, sugar pouches, industrial and multi-wall bags and laminations.
Regulatory Status
NA 206-000 meets requirements of the Food and Drug Administration regulations 21 CFR 177.1520 and 21 CFR 176.170.
