Lotryl™ 17 BG 04 Resin should be used blended with 10 to 30% of film quality LDPE as it produces a blocky film in its pure state.
Lotryl™ 14 MG 02 Resin is a formulated product, ready to use.
Properties important in gloves are:
Sensitivity- glove must conform to finger and allow sensation
Seal strength- avoids contamination.
Anti Block- glove opens easily.

Processing
Lotryl™ Resins can be blown film and cast film extruded on the same equipment used for LDPE or other ethylene copolymers.
Hygiene Films
I - Hygiene films made with Lotryl™ Resins are used in disposable products such as:
Operating clothes
Diapers
Feminine hygiene
II - Properties of Lotryl™ Resins
Cast film polyethylene requires additional processing, with an embossed chill roll, to improve the comfort properties and noise performance. This process requires additional manufacturing and capital expenses. This additional process is not needed with Lotryl resins.
Blown film extruded Lotryl™ Resins films possess these qualities:
Comfort
Low noise (rustle)
Heat sealable
