Tackified polyethylene films

Indopol® polybutenes are ideally suited as tackifiers of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). They can be employed in the production of LLDPE/polybutene masterbatches for subsequent conversion to film, or more typically added directly to the LLDPE during the film extrusion process. The major areas of application for tackified LLDPE are pallet stretch wrap and bale silage wrap. The films exhibit good clarity, durability and cling properties. Owing to their very low toxicity, some grades of Indopol polybutene can also be employed as a tackifier for domestic cling films (food wraps).
