BYNEL® Series 4100 resins are anhydride-modified, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resins. All 4100 series resins are available in pellet form for use in conventional extrusion and coextrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene (PE) resins. BYNEL 41E710 is a grade with a higher level of anhydride modification, and is mainly intended for use as a component in a blend with other polyolefin resins. It is not intended for extrusion in its pure form in typical extrusions or coextrusions. Physical properties of BYNEL Series 4100 resins are typical of linear low-density polyethylene resins with similar density and melt index values. Use of these adhesive resins in coextruded PE/barrier structures offers improved thermal resistance over that of ethylene vinyl acetate-based adhesive resins. BYNEL 4100 series resins adhere to a variety of materials. They are most often used to adhere to EVOH, polyamide, PE and ethylene copolymers. Series 4100 resins can be used in coextrusion processes including: - blown film
- cast film/sheet
- blow molding
- melt and solid phase thermoforming
- sheet and tubing
LLDPE resins are known for their temperature resistance, clarity and toughness. These physical properties make the 4100 series resins work well in applications such as: - boil-in-bag structures
- blow molded containers in which drop strength is important
- bag-in-box films
- film where LLDPE is the heat seal layer.
