LFI 2130
Low Density Polyethylene
Product Description
LFI 2130 is a high molecular weight, low density polyethylene for producing heavy-duty packaging films for application like shrink hoods. LFI 2130 contains no slip agent and antiblock additives. This grade offers outstanding strength and toughness, very good draw down ability and biaxial shrink properties. LFI 2130 has been manufactured under SABTEC licensed technology.
Applications:
- Blown film extrusion
- Heavy duty packaging film
- Shrink hoods
- Industrial sacks
- Carrier bags and liners.

- Typical values: these are not to be construed as
- The density parameter was determined on compression-molded specimens, which were prepared in accordance with procedure C of ASTM D4703, Annex A1.
- Properties are based on 120 μm blown film produced at a melt temperature of 200°C and 3 BUR using 100% LFI
- Please note that, these processing conditions are recommended by producer only for 100% LFI2130 resin (not in the case of blending with any other compatible material), but because of the many particular factors which are outside our knowledge and control, and may affect the use of product, no warranty is given.
Conveying
Conveying equipment should be designed to prevent accumulation of fines and dust particles. These particles can, under certain conditions pose an explosion hazard. We recommend that the conveying system will be equipped with adequate filters and be operated and maintained in the way that ensure no leaks develop.
Storage
Polyethylene resins should be protected from direct sunlight and/or heat during storage. The storage location should also be dry, dust free and the storage temperature should not exceed 50 °C. It is also advisable to process polyethylene resins (in pelletized or powder from) within 6 months after delivery, because excessive aging of polyethylene can lead to a deterioration in quality. Arya Sasol Polymer Company would not give any warranty to bad storage conditions which may lead to quality deterioration such as color change, bad smell and inadequate product performance.
