EP1 X 35 AF is a slightly modified random copolymer for the mproduction of cast and water- quenched blown film. EP1 X 35 AF is formulated with a slip and antiblock package and exhibits excellent antistatic properties. EP1 X 35 AF is designed for quality packaging applications, either as monolayer film or as welding layer on coextruded structures. The product offers excellent processability, high clarity and gloss and good heat weldability. The seal initiation temperature is about 136°C. Because of its good heat weldability, EP1 X 35 AF is well suited for lamination to bioriented polypropylene film or other materials to form the welding layer. Film produced with EP1 X 35 AF is particularly suited for the packaging of foodstuffs such as sweets, pasta, biscuits and snacks and for the packaging of books, stationery, blankets, shirts and hosiery .
