Braskem FG31 LLDPE Blown Film Extrusion Polyethylene Copolymer

FG31 is a linear low-density polyethylene, copolymer of butene-1, produced by the solution process. It was developed for blown film extrusion in blends with polyethylene. Films obtained with this product show excellent mechanical properties. FG31 contains antioxidant additives. Its applications include: stretch films, heavy-duty bags, liners, and LDPE and HDPE blends and packages for general use. FG31 resin can be processed with polyethylene on conventional extruders with a maximum ratio of 30%. The best results are obtained with polyethylene resins of low melt index. The recommended temperature profile for blends with LDPE is slightly higher than those ones for the conventional LDPE (10 to 20ºC).
