General Information
Product Description
TX7001 is a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with high molecular weight, designed to satisfy those applications that require high mechanical strength and environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR), together with good processability, proper of branched polyethylene produced by a high- pressure process. TX7001 resin presents an excellent performance in conventional LDPE extruders, granting low energy consumption during the whole process and allowing the production of packaging with a good dimensional uniformity and an excellent surface finishing. This product is identified as PE 115 according to ASTM D-4976-04a standard specification.

Additives:
No additives

Application:
High resistance films for industrial packaging, heavy duty bags and plastic canvas.
Base resin for agriculture films with big dimensions.

Process:
Blown Film Extrusion
