Benefits and Applications
LLDPE is used to produce garbage/lawn-leaf bags, housewares, bottles, profiles, coffee can lids and dairy product packaging, as well as large (rotomolded) parts such as outdoor gym sets, riding toys and tanks.
Properties
Resins used to produce film are available with either hexene or butene co-monomers. Materials used to produce molding applications are available for both injection and rotational molding processes. Broad-molecular-weight LLDPE grades are utilized in blow molding, profile and tubing applications.
