Product Description
SABIC® LLDPE 118WE is a butene-linear low density polyethylene resin for general purpose applications. Films produced from this resin are tough with excellent puncture resistance, high tensile strength, good hottack properties and low gel levels. The resin contains anti block and slip erucamide. SABIC® LLDPE 118WE is TNPP free.

Typical applications for SABIC® LLDPE 118WE are shipping sacks, ice bags, frozen food bags, liners, carrier bags, garbage bags, agriculture films, lamination and coextruded films, shrink film (for blending with LDPE), industrial consumer packaging and high clarity film if blended with (10-20%) LDPE.

The product mentioned herein is in particular not tested and therefore not validated for use in pharmaceutical/medical applications.
