Flexomer™ Polyolefins-a Unique Class of Ethylene Copolymers for Low Temperature Film Applications

FLEXOMER ^TM polyolefins, referred to as very low density poly ethylenes (VLDPEs), are manufactured by a gas-phase, fluid bed process tech nology. Commercially available products typically range in density from 0.880 to 0.912 g/cc. The growing family of VLDPEs includes both narrow and broad molecular weight distribution polymers. The low crystallinity of these resins results in energy absorbing characteristics that yield outstanding low tempera ture impact properties. The lower brittleness temperature of VLPDE products provides superior low temperature performance when compared with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) copolymers.
