Applications
ALATHON XL 5906 is a high molecular weight high density polyethylene homopolymer with a broad bimodal molecular weight distribution. This resin exhibits excellent stiffness, very high tensile strength, and low gels. Opportunities for this type of product include paper replacement applications as well as mono-and multi-layer films requiring both stiffness and toughness.
Certifications
XL 5906meets the requirements of Food and Drug Administration regulation, 21 CFR 177.1520.
