General Information
DSM produces low density polyethylene by the tubular and the autoclave reactor processes. As a result the
product range covers a wide variety of densities and melt flow rates. Further it includes a large number of
grades with excellent optical properties which yield firm with a high to very high clarity.
Finally there is a wide variety of additives. For example, several grades contain the slip agent erucamide
.Films produced from these materials have excellent surface properties and very low odor and taste levels,
which is of advantage in e.g. food packaging. Purchased from us. Nothing herein is intended to be nor shall
