Linear Low Density Polyethylene 22B03
Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) 22B03 is a versatile polymer known for its unique properties and wide range of applications. This material is a type of polyethylene characterized by its linear structure with significant numbers of short branches, which is achieved through the copolymerization of ethylene with alpha-olefins such as butene, hexene, or octene. The result is a polymer that combines the beneficial properties of both high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). LLDPE 22B03 is particularly noted for its high stiffness, making it suitable for applications requiring durable and flexible films. It has a density range of 0.920 to 0.924 g/cm³ and a melt flow index (MFI) of 2.8 to 3.2 g/10 min, which indicates its ease of processing. The material also boasts excellent tensile strength and elongation properties, making it ideal for various industrial applications.
