It’s time to play the name game! Check out our naming convention below and learn how we name our grade slates to accurately choose the melt index and density you need.
Density
Process
Melt index
Comonomer type
Additives
Density is reflected by the first two numbers in the product name, which is 18 in this instance. These numbers represent the last two significant digits of the density value. See more examples to the right.
The conversion process is reflected by the second letter(s) found in the product name, which is F in this instance. See more examples to the right.
Melt index is reflected by the third number found in the product name, which is 1 in this instance.
If the product’s melt index is >1, the value displayed in the product name is rounded to the nearest integer value.
If the product’s melt index is 1, the value displayed in the product name has a leading zero to indicate it should be a decimal.
For film grades, comonomer type is reflected by the fourth letter in the product name, which is B in this instance. See more examples to the right.
Additives are reflected by the fifth number or letter in the product name, which is 1 in this instance. See more examples to the right.
