Performance Films for Signle Site Bimodal sLLDPE Resins, 2005 PLACE Conference
With the advent of single site dual reactor process technologies, such as NOVA Chemicals Corporation’s Advanced SCLAIRTECHTM Technology, it is now possible to produce performance films using single site bimodal sLLDPE resins. With appropriate design of resin architecture and processing conditions, dual reactor single site bimodal sLLDPE resins can provide excellent film physical and optical properties, improved sealing characteristics and low hexane extractables while maintaining good resin processability. This paper will discuss the influence of molecular architecture and processing conditions on the film performance characteristics.
