Linear Low Density Polyethylene
Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a polyolefin with a linear backbone and short-chain branching from comonomers (butene, hexene, or octene). Compared with conventional LDPE it offers higher tensile and puncture strength, better tear resistance, and superior stretch-film cling, making it the dominant resin for stretch wrap, heavy-duty liners, agricultural and lamination films, and rotomoulded tanks.
Grades are specified by comonomer type, melt-flow index (MFI/MFR per ISO 1133, commonly 0.5-5 g/10 min at 190 C/2.16 kg for film) and density (typically 0.915-0.940 g/cm3). Butene-based grades are economical general-purpose films; hexene and octene grades deliver higher mechanical performance for thin-gauge, down-gauged, or high-stretch applications. Metallocene (mLLDPE) grades are offered where buyers need tighter molecular control. Food-contact-suitable grades carry EU 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 declarations where required.
Forms are virgin granules; PCR/recycled LLDPE is supplied separately where circular-content specifications apply. Packaging is typically 25 kg PE bags on stretch-wrapped pallets, 500-1250 kg FIBC/jumbo bags, or octabins for bulk film lines, with FCL consignments standard for EU and GCC importers.
For EU buyers, REACH registration is confirmed and an Only Representative pathway coordinated where required; CLP labelling and SDS accompany every shipment, and SABER/SASO is arranged for Saudi Arabia. Himalay's verified manufacturer/exporter partners supply LLDPE with CoA per batch (MFI, density, comonomer where specified), SDS, REACH/CLP compliance coordinated for EU, GHS labelling, and SABER for Saudi Arabia handled as part of the standard order flow.
