Material Notes:

DOW LDPE 493A resin, is a high strength, general purpose resin used for shipping sack, industrial liner and produce film applications. DOW LDPE 493A resin can be blended with most linear low density polyethylene resins to enhance bubble stability. It contains low levels of slip additive and medium levels of antiblock additive. It complies with U.S. FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) 2.1 for food contact applications. The regulation should be consulted for complete details.Film properties below based on a film thickness of 40 µm. Data provided by Dow Chemical.
