LyondellBasell Petrothene® GA808091 Linear Low Density Polyethylene

ApplicationsPETROTHENE GA 808-091 is a broad molecular weight, linear low density polyethylene resin designed for use as a base resin in wire and cable jacketing. An antioxidant package is added to ensure thermal stability during processing.Processing TechniquesGA 808-091, like other thermoplastic polyolefin resins, can be extruded as wire and cable insulation using a conventional extruder. Below are suggested extrusion conditions for GA 808-091. These conditions are intended as general guidelines only and are not optimum values, since manufacturing conditions, such as extruder type and size have an effect on the processing of thermoplastic resins.Industry SpecificationsGA 808-091 meets the requirements of the following: ASTM D1248, Type 1, Category 4, Class A, Grade E5. Federal LP390C, Type II, Class L, Category 4, Grade 4.This product is from the former Equistar product line.
