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 odour and taste levels, which is of
advantage in e.g. food packaging.
