ANTEO™ FK1828
BORSTAR® BIMODAL TERPOLYMER LLDPE FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE FLEXIBLE PACKAGING
DESCRIPTION
Anteo™ FK1828 is produced using the proprietary Borstar® bimodal terpolymer technology combining
outstanding sealing performance with easy processabilty, good optics and superior mechanical properties.
Film made with Anteo™ FK1828 exhibits unique combination of low seal initiation temperature (SIT), high hot
tack force and excellent puncture and tear properties. Anteo™ FK1828 used in combination with Borstar® PE /
BorShape™ PE / LDPE / PP products offers best in class high performance transparent flexible packaging
solution with potential for down gauging.
Anteo™ FK1828 contains Slip, Antiblock, Antioxidant and processing Aid (PPA).

FILM PROPERTIES
Anteo™ FK1828 film properties are measured on 40 micron blown film produced on a lab scale extruder
with processing conditions: BUR = 2.5:1, FLH = 3 DD, Die gap =1.8mm
* Typical properties and data should not be used for specification work
** Blend with 10% LDPE.
PROCESSING CONDITIONS
Anteo™ FK1828 can be processed in most types of blown film equipment such as LDPE, LLDPE or HDPE
extruders.
Anteo™ FK1828 is well suited for co-extrusion in combination with Borstar® PE/ BorShape™ PE / LDPE / PP
products.
Recommended extrusion temperature is 180 - 210°C. Die gap of 1.4 - 2.2 mm will give the best balance between
extruder pressure and physical properties in the film. Anteo™ FK1828 enables energy saving by processing at
lower temperature and motor load with excellent bubble stability.
To boost optical properties of film made with Anteo™FK1828, it is recommended to blend with minimum 5%
LDPE.
