Dow adds Hexene LLDPE.Hexene comonomer-based LLDPE LLDPE Linear Low Density Polyethylene and mLLDPE film resins are now being offered by Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Mich. They are produced by the same solution process technology as Dow's standard octene copolymers. The initial launch includes six Dowlex grades, made with Ziegler-Natta catalysts A Ziegler-Natta catalyst is a reagent or a mixture of reagents used in the production of polymers of 1-alkenes (α-olefins). Ziegler-Natta catalysts are typically based on titanium compounds and organometallic aluminium compounds, for example triethylaluminium, (C2 , and one Elite Enhanced PE grade produced with Insite metallocene catalyst Metallocene catalyst A transition-metal atom sandwiched between ring structures having a well-defined single catalytic site and well-understood molecular structure used to produce uniform polyolefins with unique structures and physical properties. technology. This move signals a long-term commitment by Dow to supply hexene-based resins, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. market manager Joe Laehu. Hexene grades are offered as a lower-cost but still high-performance alternative to premium octene grades. The first six Dowlex hexene grades span a density range of 0.9190 to 0.9309 g/cc and MI from 0.75 to 0.90. The one initial hexene-based Elite mLLDPE has a density of 0.9170 and 4.50 MI.
