Blown film
Tie-layer
TYMAX® GT4525 is a maleic anhydride modified linear low density polyethylene plastomer suitable for blown film applications. This resin is designed for bonding polyethylene to both polyamides and EVOH resins in multilayer films. Because it is a plastomer based resin, it has higher flexibility, dart impact, and tear resistance than standard linear low density polyethylene tie resins. It does not contain any slip or antiblock additives.
This product has some 21 CFR clearances.
