Abstract
An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of LLDPE/LDPE blend compositions on the physical properties of blown films and processing properties during extrusion. Spiral mandrel die analysis was also performed by FAN method and its results were compared with measured die pressure. Positive synergy effects of LDPE addition into LLDPE could be seen except the dart impact and MD tear strength of the films.
