Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
Steadfast performance. A balance of the best.
Balance is a good thing. In life. In work. In polyethylene resins – like linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) resins from Dow.
LLDPE resins offer a steadfast set of physical and processing properties. High tensile strength. High impact resistance. High puncture resistance. Excellent stretch, flexibility and elongation. Consistent melt flow and low shearing. The ability to create thinner films with tougher profiles.
It’s all in the science. More than 50 years of on-going product development, research and improvements. Our current LLDPE portfolio is an extensive balanced catalog with resins for a wide variety of applications for both flexible and rigid end uses.
Flexible applications
Flexible films are often used for packaging, but they are used for many non-packaging applications, as well. Our LLDPE resins offer converting and filling advantages and uncommon durability in end uses, such as:
- Pouches
- Stretch wrap
- Cable jacketing
- Flexible tubing
- Geomembranes
- Sheeting
Rigid applications
LLDPE resins from Dow deliver durability and abrasion resistance, clarity, and desirable processing characteristics for many rigid applications including:
- Caps and closures
- Buckets
- Containers
- Covers and lidding
- Pipes
- Toys
Care for the environment
LLDPE can be recycled for use into many new items such as industrial bins, composite lumber, flooring, and new plastic films for various end uses.
There’s more to discover. More opportunities for innovative collaboration. And more potential for increased focus on the environment. Let’s connect and explore opportunities together.
