Product Description
SABIC® LLDPE 6118LE is a hexene linear low density polyethylene resin. Films made from this resin exhibit excellent tensile strength, stiffness, dart drop, impact strength, tear strength and hottack properties. This resin contains anti block and slip Erucamide. The suffix E denotes European origin.

Typical application for SABIC® LLDPE 6118LE are heavy duty bags, lamination films, agriculture films, stretch wrap films, frozen food packaging and other applications requiring high impact strength, high tear resistance and improved sealing properties.

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