PLASTICS - LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE FILMS FOR GENERAL USE AND PACKAGING APPLICATIONS - SPECIFICATION (FIRST REVISION)
This Malaysian Standard specifies unpigmented, unsupported tubular, low-density polyethylene films (hereafter referred to as film or films) from resins having densities ranging from Class 1 polyethylenes of ASTM D 4976.
NOTES:
1. The density of a film will not necessarily be equal to the density of a molded plaque from the same resin.
2. Blends of ethylene /vinylacetate (EVA) with low-density polyethylene may have densities up to 0.929 g/cm3.
This Malaysian Standard is applicable to homopolymer polyethylene, but is not restricted to it. It is
applicable to films made from copolymer polyethylene commonly referred to in industry as low-pressure or linear low-density polyethylene, and also applicable to films made blends of homopolymers and copolymers, including ethylene/vinylacetate copolymers.
The thickness of the films covered by this specification is 100 ?m or less inclusive. The maximum width of the film or layflat is 3 m.
This Malaysian Standard does not cover oriented he
