Applications
Film applications
Stamylex blown and cast film grades cover a density range from
specialty VLDPE sealing polymers ( 910 kg/m3 ) to high
stiffness homopolymers ( 960 kg/m3 ). The grades exhibit
superior impact, tensile and breaking strength, characteristic of
octene copolymers. The optical properties of Stamylex film grades
are a particular advantage with a production process, which delivers
a consistently low level of gels and impurities.
Moulding applications
Stamylex polyethylenes are particularly suited for more demanding,
specialty injection moulding applications.
Narrow molecular weight distribution, high purity, excellent organoleptics
and a broad combination of densities and melt flow indices all contribute
to the use of Stamylex grades in applications such as mineral water
packaging, household products and technical articles.
The unique molecular structure of Stamylex polyethylenes reduces
internal stresses in moulded articles, even with extremely high
flow path to wall thickness ratios. Products moulded from Stamylex
are characterised by no warpage, freedom from flow marks and appealing
surface gloss.
Extrusion coating applications
Stamylex grades for extrusion coating are characterised by a narrow
molecular weight distribution and high purity enabling the production
of films virtually free from gels or other impurities and with excellent
organoleptic properties. These octene based copolymers also provide
an excellent combination of environmental stress crack resistance,
toughness and puncture resistance.
