Material Notes:

Polyethylene 1840F is a low-density formulation with no slip or antiblock. It is suggested for film applications where enhanced processability and high clarity are required. It is characterized by good tear strength, impact strength, wide heat-sealing range, and printability. This product may be used as a component of packages used for holding food during cookingList of Applications:Food packagingHousehold bagsHousehold wrapslow density polyethylene 1840F may lawfully be used in food-contact applications under FDA regulations at 21 CFR 177.1520(c)(2.2).Information supplied by the manufacturer.Information from manufacturer data sheet.Eastman Chemical Company sold its polyethylene business to Westlake Chemical Corporation in Dec. 2006. This grade no longer appears in the Westlake product line.
