Description
Polyethylene, Linear Low Density, Metallocene (mLLDPE) is a specialized type of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) that utilizes metallocene catalysts during its production. This unique combination results in a polymer with enhanced performance characteristics, making it highly desirable for a wide range of applications across various industries.
Properties and features
mLLDPE exhibits improved mechanical properties compared to conventional LLDPE. It boasts higher tensile strength, puncture resistance, and tear strength, making it better suited for demanding applications.
mLLDPE remains highly flexible even at low temperatures, making it ideal for applications in cold environments or where flexibility is crucial.
The use of metallocene catalysts during polymerization results in a more uniform and controlled polymer structure, which enhances the material’s processability during manufacturing processes like blow molding.
mLLDPE offers excellent sealing performance, making it an ideal choice for applications that require secure and reliable seals, such as flexible packaging films.
mLLDPE typically has improved transparency and clarity compared to conventional LLDPE, making it suitable for applications where visual appeal or product visibility is essential.
The combination of enhanced mechanical properties, flexibility, and processability allows mLLDPE to be used in a diverse range of applications, including packaging, agriculture, automotive, and construction.
Applications
Films
Stretch, shrink, agricultural and industrial films.
Household container
Bottles, cans and storage boxes.
