Linear Low Density Polyethylene, or lldpe for short, metallocene is used for extrusion, roto-molding, blown film and injection molding in areas such as food-packaging, frozen food, cosmetics, floor-heating pipes, stretch film.
LLDPE Metallocene Properties
The density range is 0.910-0.925 gr/cm³ and it is a very low density polyethylene type. Polyethylene, one of the most used plastics in the world, has a wide range of uses, from packaging of foods with a long shelf life to packaging chemicals to be transported safely, from transporting drinking water to every corner of the city and protecting vehicles from scratches. It has an extremely high strength in terms of strength and is a slippery material due to its low coefficient of friction.
Use of LLDPE Metallocene
Metalocene-based LLDPE raw materials are also used in the film and packaging industry. It is a thermoplastic material and is popular in stretch plastic packaging. It offers polymer based on Ethylene, Octene or Butane. Linear low density polyethylene has a linear structure and is resistant to stress, impact and abrasion.
- It has a translucent and opaque appearance. Its melting point varies between 120 and 160 °C.
- It is used in garbage bags which are film extrusion products, heavy duty bags for agricultural purposes, tarpaulin making, market bags and textile product packaging.
- Injection It is used as molding products in household goods, toy manufacture, stationery and electronic industry fittings.
- As rotational molding products, it is used in the manufacture of materials such as various sized container garbage bins, portable sheds, blow molding products.
