Versalis Riblene® FC 40 Low Density Polyethylene - Blown Film Extrusion (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Low Density (LDPE); Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Film Grade
Material Notes:	Riblene FC 40 is a high molecular weight low density polyethylene (LDPE) suitable for blown film extrusion. Riblene FC 40 is characterized by a high melt strength leading to a good bubble stability during extrusion. Films manufactured with Riblene FC 40 are easily heat shrinkable and characterized by high rigidity, good mechanical and excellent optical properties. Main Applications: Riblene FC 40 is recommended for the production of shrink film for medium and high loads characterized by high rigidity, clarity and gloss. Information provided by Polimeri Europa. Versalis is the Eni subsidiary containing the plastics and rubber businesses.
