Processing
  • Lotréne® LAO710 can be easily processed on all standard extrusion coating machines. However, in order to obtain the best uniform thickness and width, it is advisable to use an extruder with an L/D ratio at least 20:1, the melt temperature is suggested to be in the range of 330-280 °C.
  • The output depends on the nature of the substrate, the thickness of the coating and the temperature of the material.
