General Information
Product Description
SLH118 is a Linear Low Density Polyethylene developed for blown film extrusion. Films obtained with this product show a good processing performance balanced with good optical and mechanical properties as well as sealability. Very low gel amount. It contains antioxidant additives. The minimum biobased content of this grade is 84%, determined according to ASTM D6866.

Applications:
Stretch films; liners; LDPE and HDPE blends and packages for general use.
Others applications: blends for irrigation pipes.
Flexible containers for cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications (complies with USP 37).

Process:
Recommended processing conditions for film extrusion about 170 - 210 °C. The optimum
processing conditions will vary according to the type of equipment used and cannot be
considered as performance guarantee.
