Metallocene Polyethylene

Product Description
Exceed™ m 2018.MA is an ethylene 1-hexene copolymer. Films made from Exceed m 2018.MA have outstanding tensile, impact strength, and punctureThese superior strength properties, along with excellent drawability, makes this a very versatile packaging film resin. The higher melt index also makes this polymer ideally suited for blending into LDPE rich filmsTnPP is not intentionally added to Exceed m 2018MA.
