Material Notes:

™ 5100G is a copolymer produced via INSITE™ Technology from Dow Plastics. It offers excellent impact strength, good tensile and puncture properties for thick and thin gauge industrial and consumer blown film applications. This resin exhibits higher hot tack strengths than LLDPE, making it ideal for automated packaging applications.Information provided by Dow
