A-C® 3A
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) homopolymer
Overview
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) homopolymer powder for use in solvent borne coatings and heat set, sheet fed and liquid inks to improve surface properties. It accomplishes this by lowering the coefficient of friction (improving slip) of the surface and therefore improving mar and abrasion resistance. It is also used extensively as a nucleating agent for expanded polystyrene (EPS).Use SDS Number 11455 to retrieve the safety data sheet using the SDS Finder.
