LDPE LFI2119
Description
LFI2119 is a specific grade of low-density polyethylene (LDPE). It is also known by other names such as PE LDPE0190, 2602HOW, FDO274, or 0119. This material is a lightweight film grade polyethylene, manufactured under the license and technology of SABTEC. LFI2119 is particularly designed for general-purpose thin films.
The versatility of LFI2119 makes it suitable for several key applications in the plastics industry. Its primary uses include blown film extrusion, packaging film, and general lamination films. Thin films made from this grade can also serve agricultural and industrial purposes. Specific industries benefiting from products made with LFI2119 include the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and horticulture, primarily for packaging and printing. It is also used for nylon packaging and plastic bags.
- Excellent optical properties, producing very clear and transparent plastics.
- High output capability, allowing for large volumes of material to be produced quickly and efficiently.
- Excellent/Great draw-down ability, providing flexibility and control to produce very thin products.
- High toughness contributes to the material’s durability.
- Good melt strength or high melt strength, meaning it resists deformation or breaking when melted.
- Good hardness, which provides resistance to scratching, denting, and deformation under pressure.
- Contains an Antioxidant additive.
- It does not contain antiblock or slip agent additives.
- It is offered in pellet or granular form.
- The combination of high output and excellent draw down ability offers significant processing advantages for manufacturing thin films.
- High melt strength helps in forming more easily and producing stronger, higher-quality products.
- Excellent optical properties create very clear and transparent plastics.
- Good hardness contributes to temperature stability, durability, better load-bearing, and chemical resistance in products.
- High output can lead to cost and energy savings while increasing productivity.
- Great draw-down ability guarantees high-quality products with consistent thickness throughout, even when producing very thin films.
lfi2119 is primarily targeted at converters and manufacturers engaged in the packaging industry, particularly those producing thin films, blown films, and lamination films. This includes suppliers for agricultural, industrial, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and horticultural applications. Producers of nylon packaging and plastic bags are also key users.

LFI2119 is supplied in PALLET form. Specifically, it is available in 55*25 Kg shrink-wrapped wooden pallets. Polyethylene resins like LFI2119 should be protected from direct sunlight and/or heat during storage in a dry, dust-free location with a temperature not exceeding 50°C. It is advisable to process the resin within 6 months of delivery to avoid potential quality deterioration. Poor storage conditions can lead to quality issues such as colour change, bad smell, and inadequate product performance. Proper conveying equipment should be designed to prevent the accumulation of fines and dust, which can pose an explosion hazard under certain conditions. Ventilation is important in fabrication areas to carry away fumes or vapours from molten polymer, which may degrade and cause irritation.
