Eastman E6838-014F Polyethylene (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE)
Material Notes:	E6838-014F is a low density formulation that contains low slip and medium antiblock levels. It is suggested for film applications that require clarity. List of Applications: Food packaging Food-contact applications E6838-014F meets the requirements of FDA regulations at 21 CFR 177.1520(c)(2.2) and may be used as a component of packages used for holding food during cooking. However, the polymer thickness in the form in which it contacts food shall not exceed 0.005 inches and contact is limited to non-alcoholic food because of a regulatory limitation for an adjuvant substance in this formulation. Information supplied by the manufacturer. Information from manufacturer data sheet. Eastman Chemical Company sold its polyethylene business to Westlake Chemical Corporation in Dec. 2006. This grade no longer appears in the Westlake product line.
Key Words:	Low slip, medium antiblock, clarity
