    Lotrene ® FE8000
    LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE

    DESCRIPTION:
    Lotrene® FE8000 is an additive free grade mainly recommended for the light and medium duty
    film application with good optical properties and medium rigidity.

    PROPERTIES:
    The suitable molecular structure of lotrene® LA 0710 allows it to be used for thin gauge coating
    at very high speeds onto various substrates.

    Lotrene® FE 8000 produces films that are very strong, sufficiently rigid for automatic packaging
    machines, suitable for shrink wrapping and have good optical properties.

    Note: the values given in this technical data sheet are the results of tests carried out in accordance
    with standard test procedures. They are given as indication to enable customers to make the best
    use of our products but must be considered as average values provided without implying any
    undertaking on our part.

    PROCESSING:
    Lotrene ® FE 8000 can be easily processed on all types of extruders designed for polyethylene and
    over a wide range of extrusion conditions.

    The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 160 – 180 'C.

    The best properties of the blown film are achieved at blow up ratios between 2.5:1 and 3.5:1.

    To avoid blocking and shrinkage on the reel, the temperature at the nip rolls and take – off should
    be kept as close as possible to the ambient temperature.

    The recommended thickness range is from 30 µm 200 µm.

    APPLICATIONS:
    . Shrink wrap film for light and medium duties
    . Shopping bags
    . Lamination film

    SAFETY AND STORAGE

    Under normal conditions Lotrene® FE 8000 does not present a toxic hazard through skin contact or
    inhalation. During processing, contact with molten polymer and inhalation of volatilized fumes
    should be avoided.

    lotrene® FE 8000 complies with food grade regulations FDA, 21 FR chapter 177- 1520 Olefin
    polymers, . ltems made from this grade do not transmit tests nor odor to the material in contact
    with.

    lotrene® FE 8000 is inflammable and combustible ( category 3 ) according to ISO R 1210.

    lotrene® FE 8000 is supplied in plastic bags of 25 kg ( net weight ) each. The bags are stacked and
    shrink wrapped on pallets of 1500 kg each ( Net weight ).
    The product is forwarded either by trucks or in 20 – foot sea containers.

    lotrene® FE 8000 should not be stored for more than three months nor be exposed to direct sunlight
    and/or heating during storage since this may adversely affect the properties of the product.
