Polyethylene, which is used in the production of many distinctive products, is one of the thermoplastic types. There are many types of polyethylene, created by using the ethylene. One of these, and often preferred type, LLDPE – linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is used since it provides a polymer structure that causes the density to drop during the crystallization phase. There are many advantages of this type.
What is Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
Linear Low Density Polyethylene, produced with different technologies, can be at standard and medium density levels by providing low gel levels. Since it ensures a high output rating for all the injection and extrusion technologies, it is suitable for pharmaceutical and food standards.
The melting point of Linear Low Density Polyethylene is typically 105-115° C. Accordingly, it can be used continuously between 105 – 115° C.
Linear Low Density Polyethylene Properties and Uses
The most significant characteristics and advantage of Linear Low Density Polyethylene are that it is remarkably resistant against impact. Since it has a linear structure, it presents different properties from other Polyethylene types. Its tensile strength and level of elongation are higher than the other types. It is also semitransparent and opaque. The main uses of Linear Low Density Polyethylene are as follows:
- Garbage bags
- Plastic films
- Agricultural bulk bag
- Grocery bags
- PVC canvas
- Textile products containers
- Containers
- Blowing and molding products
- Portable Cabins
