EFDC-7087 LLDPE Film Extrusion Resin

DESCRIPTION
EFDC-7087 is a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin for tubular blown film extrusion. Films made from
EFDC-7087 have good toughness, high tensile strength and outstanding puncture resistance. EFDC-7087 contains
high levels of slip and anti-blocking agent. The product offers excellent draw down capability for thinner gauge
film production. The films have good seal-ability and machinability for easy conversion on high-speed machines

APPLICATIONS
EFDC-7087 is recommended for the manufacture of thin gauge liner films, garment bags and other industrial and
consumer packaging applications requiring toughness and puncture resistance.
