Dow, a global leader in materials science innovation, continues to push the boundaries of polymer technology with solutions that balance performance, sustainability, and efficiency. Renowned for its metallocene-catalyzed polymers—known for their precise molecular control and superior mechanical
properties—Dow introduces the XUS 89770.00 Experimental Polyethylene Resin, a specialized grade engineered for cast stretch wrap films. This resin delivers unmatched stretchability, durability, and clarity, redefining standards for industrial and packaging applications.
Technical Excellence for Demanding Applications
The XUS 89770.00 resin is tailored for high-performance cast stretch films, offering exceptional mechanical properties that ensure reliability in rigorous environments. With a density of 0.916 g/cm³ and a melt flow rate of 4.0 g/10 min, it balances processability with strength, enabling seamless integration into multi-layer coextruded films. The resin excels in puncture resistance, with a puncture energy of 1.90 J and puncture force of 27.0 N, making it ideal for protecting goods during transit. Its remarkable tensile strength—31.0 MPa (MD) and 27.0 MPa (TD) at break—paired with elongation rates of 420% (MD) and 590% (TD), ensures films retain integrity even under extreme stretching.
Optical clarity is another standout feature. 91 gloss units and 0.7% haze provide near-transparent visibility, critical for applications requiring product presentation or barcode scanning. Designed as a core layer in films ranging from 10 to 35 microns, this resin works synergistically with cling layers to create lightweight yet robust stretch wraps that reduce material waste without compromising performance.
Applications Built for Efficiency and Durability
The XUS 89770.00 resin is engineered for cast stretch wrap films used in logistics, warehousing, and shipping. Its high stretchability and mechanical resilience make it perfect for securing palletized goods, from lightweight consumer products to heavy industrial loads. The resin’s low haze and high gloss enhance visibility in retail-ready packaging, while its thermal stability(melting point of 112°C) ensures consistent performance during high-speed processing. Its compatibility with coextruded structures allows manufacturers to optimize film layers for specific needs, such as load stability or reduced film thickness, driving sustainability through material efficiency.
Regulatory Compliance: Safety and Sustainability
The XUS 89770.00 resin complies with stringent global safety standards, including U.S. FDA FCN 1539 and EU Regulation No 10/2011, ensuring its suitability for food-contact applications. These certifications validate adherence to strict migration limits and chemical safety protocols, critical for packaging perishable goods or sensitive products. Notably, the resin contains no additives (anti-block, slip, or processing aids), aligning with Dow’s commitment to minimizing environmental impact and simplifying end-of-life recyclability. By meeting rigorous regulatory benchmarks, Dow ensures this grade delivers both performance and peace of mind for industries prioritizing safety and sustainability.
