HM Granules

DESCRIPTION

EGDA-6888 is a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene copolymer that has been designed specifically for tubular film extrusion. Its broad molecular weight distribution and density have been optimized to give excellent bubble stability at high extrusion rates with high film strength and rigidity. The combination of high strength and excellent drawdown-ability makes EGDA-6888 ideal for down gauging in many applications.

APPLICATIONS

Tubular films produced from EGDA-6888 are recommended for high strength grocery sacks, shopping bags, produce bags and high quality thin films for multiwall sack liners and replacements for thin paper products. EGDA-6888 is also suitable for making non-pressure “gravity” pipes for drainage and sewage applications.

Film properties are typical of blown films extruded at a 4:1 blow-up ratio and melt temperature of 215 C. ASTM: American Society for Testing and Materials

EXTRUSION CONDITIONS

EGDA-6888 can be extruded on conventional HDPE blown film equipment at 215C melt temperature. A flat or moderately increasing temperature profile is recommended for its extrusion.

A 4:1 blow-up ratio and high stalk bubble configuration are always recommended for products requiring high strength. Lower blow-up ratios (3:1) can be used for products that do not require high strength.

For best gauge uniformity, a minimum extrusion rate of 0.14 kgs/hr/mm of die circumference is recommended. The best balance of extrudability and film strength is obtained with a 1.0 to 1.1 mm die gap.

FOOD CONTACT USAGE

EGDA-6888 can be used for all food contact applications including holding food during cooking. It conforms to US FDA Regulation 21 CFR 177.1520 as well as EC Directive 90/128/EEC and its amendments to-date. Food contact suitability certificate is available upon request.

AVAILABILITY

EGDA-6888 is supplied in 25 Kg bags in secured pallets of 55 bags (1.375 MT net). It is also supplied in sea bulk container of up to 20 MT.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

EGDA-6888 is supplied in pellet form and is readily conveyed on conventional polyethylene bulk handing equipment. The bulk handling system should be designed to prevent accumulation of fines and dust particles that can pose an explosion hazard. Ensure all equipment is properly grounded. The product should be stored in a cool dry shaded area away from dust, sunlight and heat. For more details on storage and handling see our Polyethylene Storage and Handling Guide. Also carefully review the Material Safety Data Sheet supplied with this product for health, safety and waste considerations.

Description

Luban DGDX-6097 is a high molecular weight, high-density polyethylene copolymer that has been designed specifically for tubular film extrusion. Its broad molecular weight distribution and density successfully combine to give excellent performance at high extrusion rates with high film strength and rigidity. The grade is recommended for high strength grocery sacks, shopping bags and notion and millinery bags. The excellent drawdown characteristic of this product permits production of high-quality thin films for multi-wall sack liners and replacement for thin paper products. The combination of strength and drawdown makes this resin ideal for downgauging in many applications. The grade is compatible with color concentrates, thus permitting the production of a variety of colored films that serve as protective and attractive decorative wraps.

Main Characteristics:

• Butene High Density Resin

• High film strength

• Excellent drawdown

Application

High strength grocery sacks, shopping bags and notion and millinery bags

Storage and Handling

Luban DGDX-6097 must be protected from direct sunlight and should be stored in a shaded and completely dry area. During handling and processing, the material should be kept in a well-ventilated area to prevent the accumulation of dust and fumes. Contact with strong oxidizers, excessive heat, sparks or open flame should be avoided as this could initiate the degradation process and consequently impact the quality of the material.

Safety

Luban DGDX-6097 is not classified as dangerous preparation. For further information about safety in handling and processing please refer to the Safety Data Sheet.

Food Contact

Luban DGDX-6097 meets the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as specified in 21 CFR 177.1520, covering safe use of polyolefin articles and components of articles intended for direct food contact. For additional information on approved conditions of use for food contact applications, please refer to the “Product Stewardship Declaration”.
