About Polymer

Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic known for its superior tensile strength, puncture resistance, and flexibility compared to LDPE. It has a linear molecular structure with short branches, resulting in improved mechanical performance and lower film thickness capabilities. LLDPE is widely used in stretch films, liners, and flexible packaging where durability and thinness are required.Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic known for its superior tensile strength, puncture resistance, and flexibility compared to LDPE.

USAGE

• Stretch and shrink films: Used in pallet wrapping, industrial packaging, and bundling.
• Can liners and trash bags: Offers strength and flexibility for high
• load waste applications.
• Flexible packaging: Employed in pouches, food wraps, and carrier bags.
• Agricultural films: Provides weather resistance and strength in greenhouse and silage films.
• Cable jacketing: Protects wires from moisture, chemicals, and mechanical damage.

ADVANTAGES

• High tensile strength: LLDPE has greater resistance to stretching and tearing than LDPE.
• Excellent puncture resistance: Suitable for applications requiring durability under stress.
• Flexible even at low thickness: Enables production of thinner, stronger films.
• Low processing temperature: Reduces energy consumption and enhances productivity.
• Good chemical resistance: Compatible with a range of acids, bases, and solvents.

WEAKNESSES

• Lower clarity than LDPE: Films are more hazy, limiting use in applications requiring high transparency.
• Difficult to process without modification: May require blending or additives to improve processability.
• Lower gloss and smoothness: Surface finish is not as aesthetically pleasing as LDPE.
• UV sensitivity: Requires stabilization for outdoor use.
