TIPOLEN FD 244-55 – DESIGNED FOR CROSSLINKED FOAM EXTRUSION

This new LDPE co-polymer grade is specially designed for crosslinked ultrahard foam production that happens with a continuous extrusion process. During this process a chemical blowing agent supports the foaming phenomenon. However, this grade is also suitable for non-crosslinked foams or for the physical foaming process.

KEY BENEFITS FOR YOU COMPARED TO GENERAL PURPOSE LDPE GRADES:

  • Increased and narrower MFR range → issue-free processability at high extrusion output
  • Lower friction heat generated due to co-monomer content → higher extruder output
  • Increased unsaturated carbon bond numbers → higher strength and homogenous cell wall
    • Better surface smoothness of the end-product
    • Higher gloss of the foam surface
    • More homogeneous structure of foam cells
    • Stiffer foams

MAIN APPLICATIONS:

  • Automotive sound and heat insulation, interior trim
  • Automotive sealing
  • Flooring shock-absorbers in C&B
  • Flooring heat insulation in C&B
  • Footwear
  • Tapes and healthcare applications
  • Packaging
