Petroquimica Triunfo Trithene® TX 7003 LDPE - Heavy Duty and Industrial Film

Subcategory: Polyethylene; Thermoplastic; LDPE; Polymer

Key Words: FDA: 21 CFR 177.1520 (C) 2.1

Material Notes:
The Trithene® TX 7003 resin is a low-density, high molecular-weight polyethylene that offers high mechanical strength and environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR). Additionally, this product can be easily welded, which is fundamental to satisfy the requirements of cutting, welding and/or bagging lines. The product characteristics allow for a high versatility and use in various applications due to its easy processing and high compatibility with other types of polyethylene. Trithene® TX 7003 resin shows excellent performance with conventional extruders and low energy consumption during processing, which allows producing packaging with dimensional uniformity and excellent surface finishing. This product complies with ASTM standard D1248-IA5 and the requirements of Brazilian and corresponding legislation of Mercosul and it is in conformity with FDA Regulations 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) 2.1, to contact with foodstuff.

Applications: Heavy duty bags, shrink film and agricultural film. Technical films for high-strength industrial packaging, waterproofing films. Blow-molded bottles with higher stress cracking resistance - ESCR. Blends with HDPE and LLDPE for extrusion and molding processes.

Resin Properties: Compressed molded plate. Method ASTM D-1928, procedure C. Film obtained on a 50mm blow film line with barrier screw, 25:1 L/D, 1.0mm die gap, 50µm gauge, 2.3:1 BUR.
