Supplier of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) From Turkey and Dubai-UAE

Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) resin supplier – high-quality polymer for packaging, agriculture, and industrial applications

Descriptions of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is a versatile thermoplastic polymer in the polyethylene family. Produced by copolymerizing ethylene with alpha-olefins like butene, hexene, or octene, it features a linear backbone with short-chain branching. LLDPE is prized for tensile strength, flexibility, impact resistance, and processability, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.

It is extensively used in film production, packaging, containers, geomembranes, piping, and more, offering the perfect balance of strength and flexibility.

Properties of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

Property Specification
Chemical Formula (C₂H₄)ₙ
Density 0.915 – 0.925 g/cm³
Melting Point 120 – 125°C
Tensile Strength 8 – 25 MPa (depending on grade)
Elongation at Break 300 – 600%
Hardness Shore D 50 – 60
Flexibility Excellent
Chemical Resistance Highly resistant to acids, bases, and alcohols
Moisture Absorption Negligible
Processing Methods Extrusion, blow molding, injection molding, and film casting

LLDPE combines the properties of LDPE and HDPE, offering higher tensile strength than LDPE while maintaining better flexibility than HDPE, making it a hybrid solution for demanding applications.

Grades of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene

  1. Film Grade – Stretch wraps, shopping bags, food packaging films.

  2. Injection Molding Grade – Containers, caps, toys, industrial components.

  3. Blow Molding Grade – Bottles, drums, tanks, hollow structures.

  4. Extrusion Grade – Pipes, geomembranes, sheets.

Applications and Uses of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene

LLDPE’s flexibility, toughness, and chemical resistance make it a key material in many industries:

1. Packaging Industry

  • Stretch films, shrink wraps, and pallet wraps for industrial and retail use.

  • Food packaging films, pouches, and bags are due to their chemical inertness and moisture resistance.

  • Co-extruded films with HDPE or LDPE for multilayer packaging.

2. Consumer Goods

  • Soft containers, lids, toys, and household storage solutions.

  • Flexible tubing and protective coatings for consumer products.

3. Agriculture

  • Mulch films, greenhouse films, and irrigation tubing.

  • UV-stabilized films for outdoor applications.

4. Industrial Applications

  • Liners, geomembranes, and protective sheeting for chemical containment and landfills.

  • Cable insulation and protective coatings for electrical and mechanical components.

  • Conveyor belts, hoses, and flexible industrial tubing.

5. Construction

  • Vapor barriers, waterproof membranes, and geomembranes for civil engineering projects.

  • Pipe coverings, flexible joint seals, and protective barriers.

6. Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications

  • Medical packaging films for sterile products.

  • Disposable tubing, pouches, and flexible containers.

7. Automotive

  • Protective covers, flexible tubing, and interior lining components.

  • Lightweight components where flexibility and durability are required.

8. Electronics

  • Insulation for wires and cables.

  • Protective film for sensitive electronics components during manufacturing and shipping.

9. Sporting Goods

  • Inflatable toys, soft protective pads, and flexible equipment components.

10. Specialty Applications

  • Adhesive tapes, lamination films, and packaging wraps.

  • Components in flexible chemical handling systems are due to chemical resistance.

Packing of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene

LLDPE is supplied in 25 kg or 50 kg bags, jumbo bag.

Container Loading

  • A 20-foot container can carry approximately 16–20 tons of bagged LLDPE.

  • Proper palletization and stacking prevent damage during transport.

Storage and Handling Guidelines

  • Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas, away from sunlight and heat.

  • Avoid contact with oxidizing agents or combustible materials.

  • Handle gently to prevent physical damage to pellets or bags.

  • Keep in original packaging until use to prevent contamination.
