TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE
TASNEE LD 1925AS
DESCRIPTION
TASNEE LD 1925AS is a Low Density Polyethylene with a Melt Flow Rate of 1.9 g/10min (190°C/2.16kg),
recommended for mono and multilayer blown film extrusion. TASNEE LD 1925AS contains slip and anti-
blocking additives and has a suitable molecular structure to produce film with excellent mechanical and
optical properties. TASNEE LD 1925AS can be easily processed on all types of extruders designed for
polyethylene. The melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 160 – 190°C. Excellent properties
of the film are achieved with a blow - up ratio of 2:1 and recommended film thickness range from 25
to 60 μm.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Bags & Pouches, Shrink Film, Food and Non-food Packaging Films, Surface Protection Films.

FOOD CONTACT
The material is manufactured to the highest standards but, special requirements apply to certain applications, such as food
contact end-use. For specific information on regulatory compliance, please contact TASNEE below or our local representa-
tive in your area.
SAFETY
Workers should be protected from the possibility of skin or eye contact with molten polymer. As minimum precaution,
safety glasses and heat resistance gloves are suggested to prevent mechanical or thermal injury to eyes and hands. Molten
polymer exceeding processing condition requirements may degrade and release, fumes, vapors and unpleasant odor. In
higher concentrations they may cause irritation of the mucus membranes. Fabrication areas should be ventilated to carry
away fumes and vapors. Legislation on the control of emissions and pollution prevention must be observed. If the principles
of sound manufacturing practice are adhered to and the place of work is well ventilated, no health hazards are involved
in processing the material. The material may burn when supplied with excess heat and oxygen. It should be handled and
stored away from contact with direct flames and/or ignition sources. In burning the material generates considerable heat
and may release a dense black smoke. Fires should be extinguished by heavy foams or dry powder. For further information
about safety in handling and processing please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
STORAGE
The material is packed in 25 kg bags or in bulk containers protecting it from contamination. Storage time of material longer
than 6 months may have a negative influence on the quality of the final product. It is generally recommended to convert
all materials latest within 6 months from delivery date. The material is subjected to degradation by ultra-violet radiation
or by high storage temperatures. Therefore the material must be protected from direct sunlight, temperatures above 40°C
and high atmospheric humidity during storage. Further unfavorable storage conditions are large fluctuations in ambient
temperature and high atmospheric humidity. These conditions may lead to moisture condensing inside the packaging.
Under these circumstances, it is recommended to dry the material before use. TASNEE will not give any warranty to unfa-
vorable storage conditions which may lead to quality deterioration such as color change, bad smell and inferior product
performance.
