At Redox, we proudly supply Polyethylene Linear Low (LLDPE), a high-performance thermoplastic that delivers outstanding strength, flexibility, and processing efficiency.
With proven quality from trusted producers such as Qatofin’s Lotrène® range, these Polymers are relied upon across industries where durability and adaptability are essential.
What is Polyethylene Linear Low?
Polyethylene Linear Low is a grade of polyethylene manufactured through the copolymerisation of ethylene with butene. This production method enhances toughness, puncture resistance, and flexibility compared to conventional low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
LLDPE’s unique balance of mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness makes it the material of choice for applications ranging from everyday consumer packaging to demanding industrial and agricultural uses.
Key Benefits
LLDPE Film offers a range of advantages that support both performance and efficiency:
- Strength and Durability – Excellent resistance to puncture and tearing, making it ideal for heavy-duty packaging and demanding applications.
- Flexibility – Superior stretch and sealing properties ensure efficiency in wrapping, lamination, and co-extrusion.
- Processability – Suitable for both blown and cast film processes, with reliable stability and gauge control at high output rates.
- Cost-Effective – High performance without compromising economic efficiency.
- Food-Safe Compliance – Meets FDA and European food contact regulations, making it suitable for food and hygiene packaging.
Applications
Polyethylene Linear Low is widely used in:
- Packaging – Freezer film, bread bags, stretch wrap, shrink film, shoppers, and heavy-duty sacks.
- Agriculture – Mulching films, greenhouse covers, and silage films.
- Industrial Uses – Tunnel films, liners, lamination film, multilayer packaging, and construction sheeting.
- Consumer Products – Trash bags, produce bags, carrier bags, and flexible household packaging.
Product Range
Lotrène® LLDPE grades available through Redox include options designed for both blown film and cast film applications.
- Blown Film Grades (Q1018 & Q2018 Series): Provide excellent toughness, puncture resistance, and printability, suited for heavy-duty bags, collation shrink, and multilayer packaging films.
- Cast Film Grades (Q2018C & Q3018C): These grades deliver good web stability and gauge control, making them ideal for stretch film, hygiene packaging, and agricultural films.
With a range of melt flow indices and additive packages (slip, antiblock, antioxidants), Redox can supply grades tailored to the exact performance required for your process.
