• Typical Values: not to be construed as specifications limits.
• Properties are based on 25 μm blown film produced at a melt temperature of 160°C and
3 BUR using 100% LTM 2047/37.
Application
LFI2130 is recommended for blown film extrusion. This product is very suitable for high clarity
laundry bags, textile wrapping films and zip lock bags. This grade enables high speed
converting without sticking.
General information
LFI2047A has been manufactured using SABTEC licensed technology.
Processing Conditions:
Extruder temperature profile: 145-160°C
Frost line height: 5-7 times die diameter.
Blow Up Ratio: 2-3
Recommended film thickness: 25 to 50 μm.
Please note that, these processing conditions are recommended by producer only for 100%
LFI2047A resin (not in the case of blending with any other compatible material), but because
of the many particular factors which are outside our knowledge and control, and may affect
the use of product, no warranty is given.
