LDPE LFI2125A

Low Density Polyethylene LFI2125A

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) LFI2125A is a versatile plastic material formulated specifically for blown film extrusion applications. This type of LDPE offers a balanced combination of properties that make it suitable for producing high-quality and cost-effective films. 

Properties of LDPE LFI2125A

  • Good Optical Properties: LFI2125A boasts clarity and transparency, making it ideal for films requiring good visual product presentation.
  • Low Energy Consumption During Processing: This characteristic translates to lower production costs compared to other LDPE grades.
  • Adequate Coefficient of Friction (COF): The COF refers to the surface slip properties of the film. LFI2125A offers a balanced COF, enabling efficient processing on machinery while maintaining good film handling characteristics.
  • Excellent Draw Down: This property allows for the production of thin films while maintaining good strength and uniformity. This translates to material savings and potentially lighter weight packaging.
  • Medium Anti-block and Slip Agent Level: LFI2125A incorporates a controlled amount of anti-blocking and slip agents. These additives prevent films from sticking together during storage and handling while maintaining good printability.

Applications of LDPE LFI2125A LFI2125A’s properties make it a popular choice for various blown film applications:

  • General Purpose Packaging: This LDPE grade is suitable for manufacturing films used for packaging food, industrial goods, and other non-demanding applications.
  • Lamination Films: LFI2125A can be used as a base film for lamination processes, where multiple layers are combined to create films with enhanced properties like strength or barrier protection.
  • BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) Films: LFI2125A can serve as a sealant layer when co-extruded with BOPP films, creating high-performance packaging materials.
  • Inner Liners: This LDPE grade’s properties make it suitable for producing inner liners for bags, pouches, and other containers.

The selection of LDPE resin for a particular blown film application depends on several factors, including:

  • Desired film properties: Factors like strength, clarity, and sealability will influence the choice of LDPE grade.
  • Film thickness requirements: LFI2125A’s excellent draw down allows for producing thin films, which can be a cost advantage.
  • Printing requirements: The compatibility of the LDPE grade with printing processes needs to be considered.
  • Down gauging potential: LFI2125A is suitable for situations where reducing film thickness while maintaining performance is desired.

Future Trends and Forecasts The global market for LDPE films is expected to experience continued growth driven by several factors:

  • Rising demand for flexible packaging: LDPE films offer a lightweight, cost-effective, and versatile solution for various packaging needs.
  • Focus on sustainability: LDPE films can be recycled, and advancements in recycling technologies are expected to further enhance their eco-friendly credentials.
  • Developments in blown film technology: Innovations in blown film machinery and processes are enabling the production of high-performance LDPE films with improved properties.
