SABIC® LLDPE 218BE (Film)

About
SABIC® LLDPE 218BE is a butene linear low density polyethylene resin with an additive package typically designed for a broader range of food applications (TNPP free). The good thermal stability allows to use the resin in critical extrusion processing conditions. Films produced from SABIC® LLDPE 218BE have better draw-down ability compared to lower MFR LLDPE resins. SABIC® LLDPE 218BE is a Linear Low Density Polyethylene natural resin typically used for wire and cable applications. SABIC® LLDPE 218BE contains a high level of antioxidants and does not contain any antiblock and/or slip agents. It also exhibits good Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR). Sufficient Cu-inhibitor should be added to meet specific ageing requirements. For jacketing applications, addition of Carbon Black or UV stabilizer is required. Application Blown Film: SABIC® LLDPE 218BE is typically used for food applications (lamination film, barrier film) but can also be used in industrial packaging and as blending partner with other SABIC® PE resins in both blown and cast film applications. Cast Film: SABIC® LLDPE 218BE is typically used for food applications (lamination film, barrier film) and pallet hand wrap. Masterbatch Compounding: It is suitable for additive masterbatches (eg. slip agents, anti fog agents, anti static agents, thermal stabilizers) in film and blow moulding applications. Wire & Cable Extrusion: Telecommunication and Power cable (LV, MV, HV) jacketing. Halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) compounds. One-step or two-steps silane crosslinkable for cable insulation. The product mentioned herein is in particular not tested and therefore not validated for use in pharmaceutical/medical applications.&&
