Safrene® F 7740F2
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
Safrene® F 7740F2 is a high density polyethylene resin which is a medium molecular weight grade ideally suited to the extrusion and subsequent knitting of tapes and monofilaments typically used in agricultural pockets and shade netting. Safrene® F 7740F2 High Density Polyethylene Resin is also used for film extrusion applications where excellent roll geometry is required. As a film it exhibits an excellent barrier to moisture. Safrene® F 7740F2 High Density Polyethylene Resin contains slip and antistatic additives.
