|   Westlake Polymers EC 476 Low Density Polyethylene  Subcategory: Polyethylene; Thermoplastic; LDPE; Polymer Material Notes: Applications
 PropertiesMedium and Light Weight Coatings and Laminations Coated on Substrates to Provide Heat Sealability Hot Melt Laminating Adhesive General Purpose Coating 
  Excellent Adhesion Very Low Neck-in Excellent Heat Sealability Very Good Drawdown Good Moisture Barrier  FDA: This material complies with FDA regulations in 21 CFR, section 177.1520, paragraph C, section 2.1, for use in articles that contact food. Kosher approved  Processing: Westlake Polymers EC 476 is one of the most easily processed polyethylene coatings.  Excellent draw down and relatively low viscosity permits high line speeds at weights as low as 4 lbs. / 3,000 sq. ft.  Low sensitivity to fluctuations in melt temperature allows Westlake Polymers EC 476 to be easily processed at melt temperatures of 575° to 625°F.  For heavy coatings onto cellophane, 570°F is recommended.  Neck-in is minimized, odor and smoke is reduced.  Information provided by Westlake Chemical Corporation
