NOVA Chemicals SCLAIR® FP120-C LLDPE Film Resin
Categories: Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Linear Low Density (LLDPE); Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), Film Grade

Material Notes:

Octene Copolymer

Features:

  • Easy processability
  • High toughness and strength
  • Excellent seal properties

Additives:

  • Processing antioxidant
  • PPA

Applications:

  • Food packaging
  • Freezer film
  • Lamination and sealant film

Film properties are typical of blown film extruded on a 2.5" extruder with 4" die and 35-mil die gap at a blow up ratio of 2.5:1, but are dependent upon operating conditions.

United States: SCLAIR FP120 Series resin complies with the specifications contained in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation 21 CFR 177.1520 for olefin polymers, para. (c) 3.2a, and may thus be used in the United States as an article or component of an article intended for use in contact with food, without temperature or food-type restrictions, subject to technical suitability.

NOVA Chemicals polyethylene resins are biologically and chemically inert.
