Westlake EC 475 Low Density Polyethylene  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE); Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Molded

Material Notes: Applications
  • Medium and Light Weight Coatings and Laminations
  • Coated on Substrates to Provide Heat Sealability
  • Hot Melt Laminating Adhesive
  • General Purpose Coating
Properties
  • Excellent Adhesion
  • Very Low Neck-in
  • Excellent Heat Sealability
  • Very Good Drawdown
  • Good Moisture Barrier

FDA: This material complies with FDA regulations in 21 CFR, section 177.1520, paragraph C, section 2.1, for use in articles that contact food. Kosher approved

Processing: Westlake Polymers EC 475 is one of the most easily processed polyethylene coatings. Excellent draw down and relatively low viscosity permits high line speeds at weights as low as 4 lbs. / 3,000 sq. ft. Low sensitivity to fluctuations in melt temperature allows Westlake Polymers EC 475 to be easily processed at melt temperatures of 575° to 625°F. For heavy coatings onto cellophane, 570°F is recommended. Neck-in is minimized, odor and smoke is reduced.
