David M. Fiscus

Publisher page

Abstract

This article describes (1) the applications for heavy-duty sacks, (2) the technical requirements for the sacks, and (3) the films and resins used to meet the critical requirements for this industry. It also describes how the technical requirements of the sack are determined. Finally, it shows how gas phase metallocene-catalyzed hexene copolymer linear low density polyethylene resins are used to produce downgauged sacks with tailored properties to meet the needs of this industry.
