zarko Member Posts: 1 From:Bulgaria Registered: Nov 2004	posted November 07, 2004 07:19 AM Hi, for production of HDPE t-shirt bags we mix a few % of LLDPE. Is this helpful to lessen the wearing of the screw and barrel, and what is the most appropriate % of mix to improve on film properties IP: Logged

Personally, I don't buy it. I have heard of people putting 5-10% of LDPE in with HMW-HDPE to help film properties, but I have no first-hand information on the optimum blend percentages. -Bob Cunningham IP: Logged
