Linear Low Density Polyethylene
Linear Low Density Polyethylene Meaning:
In commodity market terminology, Linear Low Density Polyethylene or LLDPE refers to a linear polymer of ethylene or polyethylene with short branches made by the co-polymerization of ethylene. The process produces a linear polymer with a narrower molecular weight distribution than regular, low-density polyethylene. LLDPE is commonly-used to manufacture a wide range of plastic-related products, including plastic bags, toys and flexible tubing.
