Applications
MXSTEN CM27053-F is an extra low density polyethylene containing no slip or antiblock. It is designed for blown film applications and is well suited for hygenic films, stretch films and industrial packaging applications. CM27053-F works well as an enhancer in applications which require low temperature sealing, soft product feel and good lot-to-lot consistency. Films produced using CM27053-F exhibit superior, balance tear resistance as well as low imperfections.
