Alathon L4555X02 is a medium molecular weight high density copolymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution. L4555X02 inherently has very low gels and is well suited for monofilament, slit tape and high speed orientation processes. Typical applications include specialty films, packaging of agriculture products, protective netting for the agriculture and building industry, and netting for food applications. Regulatory Status: L4555X02 meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration regulation 21 CFR 177.1520. This regulation allows for, among other things, the use of this olefin polymer in "...articles or components of articles intended for use in contact with food." Certain limitations or conditions of use may apply. Contact your Equistar sales representative for more information. Certain recommendations for processing L4555X02 can only be made when the processing conditions, equipment and end use are provided; however, Equistar recommends that samples be produced and that users conduct their own testing in order to make their own independent determination that L4555X02 is suitable and safe for their intended use and applications.
