HY3.8FY 
 
YARN 
 
Trilene HY3.8FY is a polypropylene homopolymer for production of stretched tape (yarn or raffia). Also can be use for for transparent woven bag which require good clarity, stiffness. This grade uses Unipol® polypropylene technology.  
 
 
  • Excellent processability, cosistent denier
  • Excellent strength, tenacity and % elongation balance
  • Good clarity and transparancy for laminated rice bag
  • Low water carryover
  • Compliance with FDA regulation 21CFR177.1520
  •
