DuPont™ Bynel® 41E865 Anhydride Modified LLDPE

BYNEL® Series 4100 series resins are anhydride-modified, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resins. All BYNEL Series 4100 series resins are available in pellet form for use in conventional extrusion and coextrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene resins. Physical properties of BYNEL Series 4100 resins are typical of linear low-density polyethylene resins with similar density and melt index values. Use of these adhesive resins in coextruded PE/barrier structures offers improved thermal resistance over that of ethylene vinyl acetate-based adhesive resins. BYNEL 4100 series resins adhere to a variety of materials. They are most often used to adhere to EVOH, polyamide, PE and ethylene copolymers. BYNEL 41E865 is also known for its ability to adhere to PS (polystyrene) in the coextrusion process. Series 4100 resins can be used in coextrusion processes including: blown film cast film/sheet blow molding melt and solid phase thermoforming sheet and tubing LLDPE resins are known for their temperature resistance and toughness. These physical properties make the 4100 series resins work well in applications such as: boil-in-bag structures blow molded containers in which drop strength is important bag-in-box films film where LLDPE is the heat seal layer. BYNEL 41E865 resin conforms with the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Paragraph 175.105, covering the use of adhesive interlayers in composite packages for food use. This regulation describes adhesives that may be safely used as components of articles intended for use in packaging, transporting or holding food. This regulation requires that either (1) the adhesive is separated from the food by a functional barrier, or (2) the quantity of adhesive which contacts fatty or aqueous foods does not exceed the trace amounts at the seams or edges. Customers should satisfy themselves that the food contact material is serving as a functional barrier to the adhesive.
