About LLDPE. LLDPE (a.k.a. Linear Low Density Polyethylene) is one of the three main types of polyethylene. It is a copolymer of ethylene and alpha-olefins. The most common comonomers (also referred to as short-chain branches) used commercially are 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene.
LLDPE Uses. Film grade represents the largest application for LLDPE resins,comprising over 80% of overall consumption and nearly 90% for metallocene-derived LLDPE resins. LLDPE films exhibit high tensile strength,puncture resistance,toughness,and superior low-temperature properties compared to conventional LDPE films. In stretch film applications,where low modulus,high strength,elongation,and puncture resistance are critical,both blown and die-cast LLDPE/VLDPE films are employed. Ethylene/1-butene copolymers are the cheapest but have lower film strength compared with ethylene/1-hexene and ethylene/1-octene copolymers. LLDPE resins find significant use in injection-molded products,constituting 7% of their consumption. Compared to high-pressure LDPE,ethylene/1-butene LLDPE demonstrates superior mechanical properties,offering better impact strength and stress-cracking resistance.
Intratec Methodology. Intratec distilled its expertise, gained from more than a decade of supporting companies worldwide in the analysis of commodities markets and process economics, and developed a consistent report development methodology.
The methodology ensures a holistic, coherent, and consistent techno-economic evaluation, guiding the development of a report that allows readers to fully understand a specific process technology for the production of a commodity. In addition to being based on a common methodology, all Intratec reports that approach industrial processes have a common structure, i.e., indexes, tables and charts share similar standards. This ensures that Intratec’s readers know upfront what they will get and, more than that, will be able to compare technologies addressed in different reports.
Our methodology is continuously tested and proven by the many corporations involved with the commodities sector, R&D centers, EPC companies, financial institutions and government agencies that rely on our reports.
