Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between LDPE and LLDPE?
LDPE has long-chain branching that gives easy processing and clarity; LLDPE has short branches from a comonomer (butene, hexene or octene), giving higher tear and puncture resistance. Many film formulations blend both.
Which LLDPE comonomer should I choose?
Butene (C4) is the most economical; hexene (C6) and octene (C8) give tougher films for demanding packaging. The right choice depends on your film line and application.
