A technique that involves design of experiments was developed to generate a set of equations that predicts processing, mechanical and shrink properties of HDPE/LDPE/LLDPE blends. The results are presented in an easy-to-use spreadsheet that can be used even in pocket computers.

Key Words: polymer blends • shrink film • selector • LDPE • LLDPE • octene • butene • HDPE • BUR • FLH • MFI • modulus • tear strength • puncture resistance • rupture strength • toughness • gloss • haze • effect of processing variables
