Product analysis:
MDPE 3713 is a specialized medium-density polyethylene designed for the production of high-quality thin films. It offers a combination of strength, flexibility, and durability, thanks to its broad molecular weight distribution and the use of 1-hexene as a comonomer.
It features a density of 0.937 (g/cm³) and MFI of 13 (190 °C/2.16 Kg). This grade is supplied in granular (pellet) form. With HS code 39012020, MFI 3713 is manufactured by Arya Sasol Petrochemical Company under Basell license.
- Extruder temperature profile: 180-240°C
- Frost line height: 6-8 times die diameter
- Blow Up Ratio: 3-5 Recommended film thickness: 10 to 50 μm
- Good sealability
This attribute ensures that the material can form tight, reliable seals when used in applications like packaging. Good sealability is crucial for maintaining the integrity of packaged goods, preventing leaks, and preserving freshness. It makes this material ideal for food and industrial packaging.
- High draw-down
High draw-down refers to the material’s ability to be stretched into thin films without breaking or losing strength. This characteristic is vital for producing very thin, yet strong films. It optimizes material use and cost-efficiency in film production processes.
- High melt stability
High melt stability indicates the material’s ability to maintain consistent viscosity and flow behavior during processing at high temperatures. This stability ensures uniform film thickness and quality. It minimizes defects and improves the efficiency of the production process.
- Good tear resistance
Good tear resistance means the material can withstand tearing forces, making it durable and reliable for demanding applications. This property is especially important in films that need to endure rough handling, such as in packaging and agricultural films.
- High Strength and toughness
High strength and toughness refer to the material’s ability to resist deformation and breaking under stress. This combination of properties ensures that films made from the material are durable and capable of withstanding heavy loads, impacts, and harsh conditions without failing.
MFI 3713 MDPE film is particularly suitable for manufacturing high-strength carrier bags used in retail and grocery markets. Additionally, MFI 3713 is perfect for producing high-quality thin films for food packaging, including items like bread, cheese, and snacks. The material is also used in creating multilayer films for pharmaceutical and medical packaging, such as for syringes and bottles. Moreover, it is suitable for light-duty films in industrial and agricultural applications, including shrink wrap and stretch hoods. Industries that benefit from MFI 3713 include food and beverage, pharmaceutical and medical, retail and grocery, as well as industrial and agricultural sectors.
