Versalis Clearflex® FG 308 Octene Copolymer Linear Low Density Polyethylene  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Linear Low Density (LLDPE); Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), Film Grade; LLDPE/Octene, Film

Material Notes: Clearflex FG 308 is an octene copolymer linear low density polyethylene (C8-LLDPE), with antioxidant and processing aid, suitable for blown film extrusion.

Films manufactured with Clearflex FG 308 are characterized by a good balance between optical properties and mechanical performances.

Main Applications: Clearflex FG 308 is recommended for applications in which good mechanical properties and sealability are required (flexible packaging with a certain rigidity). It is also the right choice for the production of silage film, either in coextrusion or in blend with LDPE.
