The structure of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) has a linear backbone with short and uniform branches (unlike longer branches of LDPE). These short branches are able slide against each other upon elongation without becoming entangled like LPDE. It is structurally similar to LDPE.
What are properties of LLDPE
Very flexible with high impact strength
Translucent and natural milky color
Excellent for mild and strong buffers, good chemical resistance
Good water vapor and alcohol barrier properties
Good stress crack and impact resistance
What are the applications of LLDPE
LLDPE is suitable for a variety of film applications such as: general-purpose film, stretch film, garment packaging, and agricultural film, etc.
