FAQs
What is ClearPlus 040?
ClearPlus 040 is a specially modified polyolefin polymer-based additive designed to replace LDPE in LLDPE-LDPE polymer-based plastic film manufacturing processes.
What are the benefits of using ClearPlus 040?
Using ClearPlus 040 helps companies reduce LDPE usage, save costs, and improve film quality with enhanced sealing and slip properties.
Can ClearPlus 040 be used with both virgin and recycled polymers?
Yes, ClearPlus 040 is compatible with both virgin and recycled polymers. Although it's designed for companies using virgin LLDPE and LDPE polymers, it can also be used with recycled polymers without any adverse effects. However, please note that using ClearPlus 040 with recycled polymers may not be commercially beneficial, and you should consider the cost economics before placing an order.
Are there any adverse effects of using ClearPlus 040?
No, ClearPlus 040 is a polymer-based additive that does not have any adverse effects on packaging plastic films or plastic liners properties.
Is ClearPlus 040 food-grade certified?
Yes, ClearPlus 040 is food-grade certified and non-toxic, making it suitable for food packaging applications.
Can ClearPlus 040 be used in multilayer or monolayer plastic films?
ClearPlus 040 can be used by both monolayer and multilayer packaging film manufacturers.
How does ClearPlus 040 improve plastic film quality?
ClearPlus 040 enhances film quality by improving dart strength, sealing properties, and slip properties.
What is the recommended dosage of ClearPlus 040?
The recommended dosage of ClearPlus 040 varies depending on film thickness and quantity of LDPE in formulation; our technical team provides guidance on optimal dosage during time of initial trials.
Can ClearPlus 040 be used in combination with other additives like Slip additive, Optical Brighteners etc. ?
Yes, ClearPlus 040 can be used in combination with other additives.
What is the shelf life of ClearPlus 040?
The shelf life of ClearPlus 040 is minimum 1 year from the manufacturing date. After 1 year, we can provide a shelf life extension certificate upon testing a sample from your storage. To maximize shelf life, store ClearPlus 040 in a cool and dry place.
Can ClearPlus 040 be used in biodegradable packaging films?
No, ClearPlus 040 is not designed for biodegradable packaging film applications.
What are the cost benefits of using ClearPlus 040?
If a company is using approximately 10% LDPE in their formulation and there is a price difference of Rs. 15/kg between LLDPE and LDPE, then the manufacturer will additionally save Rs. 1.5/kg after using our ClearPlus 040 in place of LDPE (24FS040 or similar grade)
Is ClearPlus 040 suitable for companies using LLDPE and LDPE polymers?
Yes, ClearPlus 040 is specifically designed for companies using LLDPE and LDPE (General Purpose film grade LDPE : MFI ~ 4 g/10 min) for making packaging plastic films.
Does ClearPlus 040 provide the same quality and film properties as LDPE?
Yes, ClearPlus 040 offers similar packaging film properties as LDPE (General Purpose film grade LDPE : MFI ~ 4 g/10 min), with the added benefits of improved sealing and slip properties, making it an excellent alternative.
How can a plastic packaging film manufacturer obtain a sample or product of ClearPlus 040 for making LD-LL plastic films?
We have a widespread warehouse network at 15+ locations across India. We will fulfill your requirement from the nearest godown, ensuring timely and convenient delivery.
