LDPE MG70

Lotrène® MG70 is an injection moulding grade mainly recommended for the injection of thin and flexible items and the preparation of masterbatches. PROPERTIES The high melt flow index of Lotrène® MG70 leads to excellent flowability and processability. The items produced from this grade possess high flexibility and glossy surface. PROPERTIES Melt Flow Index Density @ 23 °C Crystalline Melting Point Vicat Softening Point Tensile Strength @ Yield       Tensile strength @ Break     VALUE 70 0.918 102 80 UNIT g/10 min. g/cm3 TEST METHOD ASTM D-1238 ASTM D1505 °C °C ASTM E-794 ASTM D-1525 8 8 Elongation @ Break PROCESSING 340 MPa MPa % ASTM D-638 ASTM D-638 ASTM D-638 Lotrène® MG70 can be processed on all types of injection moulding machines. The temperatures and pressures used for the processing of Lotrène® MG70 are normal for the injection of low density polyethylene of high melt flow index. The melt temperature range suggested is between 150 °C and 170 °C. However, optimum conditions are dependant on the equipment used (presses, moulds, etc.) and the articles under production (appearance, size, shape, etc.). APPLICATIONS • Artificial flowers • Metal coating • Coating of textiles • Masterbatches HANDLING & STORAGE Polyethylene products should be stored in their original packaging or in clean appropriate silos. The products should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated area and should not be exposed to direct sunlight and/ or heat in any form since this may adversely affect their properties. As a general rule, our products should not be stored for more than three months from receipt date. SAFETY Under normal conditions Lotrène® products do not present a toxic hazard through skin contact or inhalation. For detailed information please refer to the Safety Data Sheet.
