All things to know about LLDPE Granules LLDPE stands for linear low-density polyethylene. LLDPE is a linear polymer that differs from LDPE in multiple ways. LLDPE granules are results of scientific revolution and rapid development in technology within the previous couple of decades. These granules are used for a number of purposes because of their versatile features that are relevant to varied industries within the market. The popularity of LLDPE is because of its higher durability and puncture resistance than its density polyethylene (LDPE) rival. This has allowed converters to form thinner films without sacrificing strength, saving material and reducing costs. LLDPE’s good toughness relative to other products has also unfolded new application areas. Globally, around 80% of LLDPE goes into film applications like food and non-food packaging, shrink/stretch film and non-packaging uses. The trend in food packaging films is towards high performance film structures that are less permeable to extend period and enhance flavors. Growth is going on from the transition of things packaged in rigid containers to prime quality flexible packages. LLDPE is getting used in extrusion coating applications where it helps protect the contents of liquid containers, primarily for paper and paperboard packaging. Non-food packaging applications are requiring stronger films like consumer, industrial and agricultural uses. What makes LLDPE different from others? With below stated features, granules have high demand in international market, with multiple cross-country buyers and sellers. 1. Flexible strength:LLDPE resin piece are a good option for producing strong and waterresistant products like pipes and durables like polythene packaging bags.
