Eastman E6838-899F Polyethylene  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE); Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Film Grade

Material Notes: E6838-899F is a low density formulation with no slip or antiblock. It is suggested for film applications requiring high clarity, good tear and impact strength, a wide heat-sealing range, and good printability. Common end uses include convertor film for food and industrial packaging. Users must make their own determination of its safety, lawfulness, and technical suitability in their intended applications.

Unless otherwise noted, all tests are run at 23°C and 50% RH. Extrusion conditions used to produce 1.25 mil blown film: 1.9:1 blow-up ratio.

Applications:

  • Converter film for food
  • Food packaging
  • Food-contact applications
  • Industrial packaging
