LLDPE Injection Molding
LLDPE is a thermoplastic resin with excellent flexibility and impact resistance
Product Description
LLDPE, linear low-density polyethylene, is a thermoplastic material that offers excellent environmental-stress-crack resistance (ESCR) and good processibility.
Key benefits
- Flexibility, even at low temperatures
- Impact resistance
- Puncture resistance
Applications
Molded LDPE parts are often used for lids, containers, caps, tubing, pipes, and other consumer products.
