NOVA Chemicals SCLAIR® FP112-A VLDPE Film Resin  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE); Very Low Density Polyethylene (VLDPE)

Material Notes:

Octene Copolymer

Features:

  • Low seal initiation temperature
  • High toughness
  • Very good optical properties
  • Low gel

Additives:

  • Processing antioxidant

Applications:

  • Sealant and lamination film for food packaging

Film properties are typical of blown film extruded on a 2.5" extruder with 4" die and 100-mil die gap at a blow up ratio of 2.5:1, but are dependent upon operating conditions.

United States: SCLAIR FP112-A resin complies with the specifications contained in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation 21 CFR 177.1520 for olefin polymers, para. (c) 3.2a, and may thus be used in the United States as an article or component of an article intended for use in contact with food, without temperature or food-type restrictions, subject to technical suitability.

NOVA Chemicals polyethylene resins are biologically and chemically inert.
