Corn Flour in LLDPE PLASTICS

The use of starches and other fillers are quite common in the manufacture of LLDPE. They add strength or other needed characteristics. Are you stating that this is a particular issue or problem in some way?

Hi Chris,

I am an Indian,presently in Nigeria and in the palstic feild for 15 years. It is not commen practice commercially vaiable to blend starches in this part of the world --(AFRICA).

Other fillers.... yes- we do for the manu. of Color concentration but not starch. I want to know the specification for the startch filler, other chemicals (like Elastomer) added to increase stength and up to what percentage of blend.

Do you have this info?

Thanks for answering my comments.........Karan

If you are purchasing this material to produce "Storage tanks, furnitures, toys, kid's small swiming pools.... and so on...", then you should go directly to the supplier, since different suppliers may add different fillers to achieve the same end product.

If you are concerned about using potential food products as plastics fillers, then there may be other fillers which could be substituted. The supplier can help here, too.

Not sure waht you real concern is.
