ASPC LFI2185
LFI2185 is recommended for blown film extrusion. This product is very suitable for thin shrink films, thin packaging films and bags.
LFI2185 has been manufactured using SABTEC licensed technology.
Extruder temperature profile: 175-190°C
Frost line height: 5-7 times die diameter.
Blow Up Ratio: 2-4
Recommended film thickness: 45 to 100 μm.
Please note that, these processing conditions are recommended by producer only for 100% LFI2185 resin (not in the case of blending with any other compatible material), but because of the many particular factors which are outside our knowledge and control, and may affect the use of product, no warranty is given.
Packaging
Supplied in pellet form and can be packaged in 25kg Bags, one ton semi bulk or 17 tons bulk containers.
The above-mentioned material meets the relevant requirements as laid down in:
- Regulation 174/2015 (amending Commission Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011)
- European Pharmacopoeia, paragraph 3.1.5.
- Metals test, standard 71-3
- Halogens, IEC 61249-2-21
- Heavy metals, EC Directive 94/62/EC
- RoHS, 2011/65/EU and 2002/96/EC
- Phthalates, Directive 2005/84/EC
Conveying
Conveying equipment should be designed to prevent accumulation of fines and dust particles can, under certain conditions, pose an explosion hazard. We recommend that the conveying system used:
Be equipped with adequate filters.
Is operated and maintained in such a manner to ensure no leaks develop. That adequate grounding exists at all times.
We further recommend that good housekeeping will practiced throughout the facility.
Storage
All resins should be protected from direct sunlight and/or heat during storage. The storage location should also be dry, dust free and the ambient temperature should not exceed 50°C. It is also advisable to process polyethylene resins (in pelletized or powder from) within 6 months after delivery, this because also excessive aging of polyethylene can lead to a deterioration in quality. ASPC would not give warranty to bad storage conditions which may lead to quality deterioration such as color change, bad smell and inadequate product performance. It is also advisable to process

polyethylene resins (in pelletized or powder form) within 6 months after delivery, this because also excessive aging of polyethylene can lead to a deterioration in quality.
Handling
Minimal protection to prevent possible mechanical or thermal injury to the eyes. Fabrication areas should be ventilated to carry away fumes or vapors.
Combustibility
Polyethylene resins will burn when supplied adequate heat and oxygen. They should be handled and stored away from contact with direct flames and/or other ignition sources .in burning; polyethylene resins contribute high heat and may generate a dense black smoke. Fires can be extinguished by conventional means with water and mist preferred. In enclosed areas, fire fighters should be provided with self-containedbreathing apparatus.Note: this information is based on our current knowledge and experience .in view of many factors that may affect processing and application, this data does not relive processors from the responsibility of carrying out their own tests and experiments, neither does it imply any legally binding assurance of certain properties or of suitability for a specific purpose. It is the responsibility of those to whom we supply our products to ensure that any proprietary rights and existing laws and legislation are observed.
