Processing Recommendations
IPETHENE® 4140 can be easily processed on conventional extruders at melt temperature range 180-230°C. Due
to differences in screw and die head designs, processing conditions should be optimized for each production line.
With suitable equipment, it can be drawn down to 70 µm films.
