Low Density Polyethylene LFI2047A
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) LFI2047A is a plastic material specifically designed for blown film extrusion applications. This LDPE grade offers a well-balanced combination of properties that make it suitable for producing high-quality and cost-effective films with good processability. Properties of LDPE LFI2047A
- Good Toughness: LFI2047A exhibits excellent tear and puncture resistance, making it ideal for films requiring durability during handling and use.
- High Speed Converting Without Sticking: This property allows for efficient film conversion processes without film sticking to processing equipment, minimizing downtime and waste.
- Good Optical Properties: LFI2047A offers decent clarity and transparency, suitable for applications where some level of visual product presentation is desired.
- Low Friction and Blocking: The controlled incorporation of anti-block and slip agents in LFI2047A minimizes film sticking during storage and handling while maintaining good printability.
- Low Energy Consumption During Processing: This characteristic translates to lower production costs compared to other LDPE grades.
Applications of LDPE LFI2047A
The properties of LFI2047A make it a suitable choice for various blown film applications:
- High Clarity Laundry Bags: This LDPE grade’s good clarity and toughness make it ideal for producing laundry bags that offer some level of product visibility while maintaining durability.
- Textile Wrapping Films: LFI2047A’s properties are well-suited for films used to wrap textiles, protecting them from dust, moisture, and damage during storage and transportation.
- Zip Lock Bags: The combination of toughness, low friction, and resealable properties makes LFI2047A a good choice for manufacturing zip lock bags.
- Surface Protection Films: LFI2047A can be used to produce temporary surface protection films for furniture, appliances, or other products during transportation or storage.
The selection of LDPE resin for a specific blown film application depends on several factors, including:
- Desired film properties: Factors like clarity, strength, and sealability will influence the choice of LDPE grade.
- Film thickness requirements: LFI2047A’s good processability allows for producing films with varying thicknesses.
- Printing requirements: The compatibility of the LDPE grade with printing processes needs to be considered.
- Specific application demands: The intended use of the film (laundry bag vs. surface protection film) will influence the most relevant properties.
