Lucofin® 1400HN

Lucofin 1400HN is a polar copolymer consisting of ethylene and butyl acrylate with low crystallinity. Due to its chemical structure Lucofin 1400HN is softer and more flexible than ethylene homopolymeres with comparable density. Lucofin 1400HN is supplied as uncoloured granules.

Lucofin 1400HN is used as component in multi-layer film constructions or as a polymer modifier to improve splitting resistance, environmental stress crack resistance ESCR, resistance to low temperatures, weldability, and processability.

• good organoleptics

• environmentally sound

Applications
Lucofin 1400HN is used primarily for extrusion applications. In the field of film extrusion it is used for films for the construction and agricultural industry, FFS bags, but also for food packaging films. In addition, Lucofin 1400HN is ideally suited as a base resin for compounds or as an impact modifier for stiff polymers. Compounds based on Lucofin 1400HN can be used for profile and cable extrusion purposes and for the production of sealing membranes. Furthermore Lucofin 1400HN is used for X-linked closed cell foam applications.

Food Legislation
Lucofin 1400HN meets the food contact regulations in most countries.
