LyondellBasell Petrothene® GA818073 Linear Low Density Polyethylene (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Linear Low Density (LLDPE); Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), Extrusion Grade
Material Notes:	Applications PETROTHENE GA 818-073 offers the high environmental stress crack resistance characteristics of linear low density polyethylene with the processing properties needed for blowmolding and extrusion applications. The broad molecular weight distribution of GA 818-073 combines good melt strength with a significantly reduced tendency to melt fracture, two drawbacks common to conventional fractional melt index LLDPE resins. Applications for this resin include beverage and drip irrigation tubing, squeeze tubes and bottles for pharmaceutical and personal care product packaging, drum liners, highway traffic channellizers and other large, blow molded parts. Processing Techniques Processing conditions can only be recommended when the type of equipment and end use applications are known. Regulatory Status GA 818-073 meets 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. This product is from the former Equistar product line.
