Borealis FA3227 Low Density Polyethylene
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE); Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Film Grade
Material Notes:	FA3227 is a Low Density Polyethylene for Film Extrusion. Autoclave Technology. Heat and U/V stabilized. This grade is suitable for building construction film and meets the requirements for heat, alkali and UV resistance described in the building standards from the Nordic countries. A 150 micron film based upon FA3227 will last at least four times as long as an unstabilized film of the same thickness. Applications FA3227 has been developed especially for applications like construction films, heavy-duty sack, shrink film, and liners. Information provided by Borealis AG
