New LLDPE Runs on HMW-HDPE Film Lines.


A new hexene LLDPE LLDPE Linear Low Density Polyethylene  is designed to process on HMW-HDPE blown-film lines. Petrothene GA 605 from Equistar Chemicals, Houston, is a 0.6-MI, 0.930-g/cc resin with 1200 ppm (Pages Per Minute) The measurement of printer speed. See gppm.

1. A film or layer one molecule thick formed at the interface between water and either oil or air by a substance such as a partially esterified fatty acid that contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in the same
 blown film that exhibits a good balance of stiffness and strength. However, it is also designed for coextrusion as a surface layer to enhance the clarity gloss, printability, and heat sealing of HMW-HDPE.

 Equistar, there is a trend among HMW-HDPE film converters to adapt their existing extrusion systems (with grooved-feed, short-barreled extruders) to run resins other than HMW-HDPE. GA 605 LLDPE with its higher density and lower MI is a response to this trend. Its additives are said to optimize processing in a grooved-feed HMW-HDPE extruder. Applications include retail bags, consumer can liners, commercial and industrial packaging and food packages.
