LLDPE LL 1002BU

EXXONMOBIL™ LL 1002BU, a leading Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) resin from ExxonMobil Chemical, is specifically engineered for film extrusion applications where an exceptional balance of toughness, puncture resistance, and processability is paramount. This butene (C4) copolymer is designed to deliver consistent performance, making it an ideal choice for a wide array of flexible packaging and industrial film solutions.

LL 1002BU is formulated to allow for efficient processing in both blown and cast film lines, often incorporating a slip/antiblock additive package (“BU”) for improved film handling, reduced friction, and excellent roll unwind characteristics. This ensures superior product quality and enhanced productivity in your manufacturing operations.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional Toughness and Puncture Resistance: Provides outstanding resistance to tears and punctures, ensuring film integrity and protecting packaged goods, even in demanding applications.
• Good Tear Strength: Contributes to the durability and reliability of films, reducing rips and breaks during use.
• Excellent Processability: Designed for smooth extrusion in both blown and cast film processes, allowing for stable operations, consistent gauge control, and high throughput. The inherent slip/antiblock additive enhances winding and converting efficiency.
• Versatile Application Profile: Can be used as a monofilament or effectively blended with other polyethylenes (like LDPE or HDPE) to optimize film properties for specific end-uses.
• Good Sealing Properties: Offers reliable heat sealing performance, crucial for robust package integrity.
• Good Optical Properties: Provides a clear appearance for an LLDPE film, allowing for product visibility and attractive packaging.
• Cost-Effective: Enables downgauging of films without compromising performance, leading to material savings.

Typical Applications:

EXXONMOBIL™ LL 1002BU is highly recommended for film extrusion processes across diverse packaging and industrial sectors:

• Stretch Film: Ideal for pallet wrap, bale wrap, and other load unitization applications where high stretch and cling are required.
• General Purpose Packaging Film: For various consumer goods, food packaging, and retail bags.
• Heavy-Duty Bags: Including industrial liners, refuse bags, and agricultural bags requiring high strength and tear resistance.
• Lamination Film: As a core layer in multi-layer flexible packaging structures.
• Agricultural Film: Greenhouse films, mulch films, and other agricultural covers.
• Liner Film: For drums, boxes, and other containers.
• Diaper Backsheets and Hygiene Films.

Typical Properties (Representative Values):

Please note that specific values may vary slightly depending on the exact production batch and testing conditions. Always refer to the official Technical Data Sheet (TDS) from ExxonMobil Chemical for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

• Melt Index (MI) (190°C / 2.16 kg): ~1.0 g/10 min (ASTM D1238)
• Density: ~0.918 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505)
• Tensile Strength @ Yield (MD/TD): ~9 / 8 MPa (ASTM D882)
• Tensile Strength @ Break (MD/TD): ~30 / 25 MPa (ASTM D882)
• Elongation @ Break (MD/TD): ~500 / 600 % (ASTM D882)

Processing Guidelines (Film Extrusion – General):

• Drying: Generally not required for LLDPE, but proper storage to prevent moisture pick-up is recommended.
• Melt Temperature: 190 – 220 °C (optimize based on extruder type, die design, and desired film properties).
• Die Gap: Typically 0.8 – 1.2 mm for blown film.
• Blow-Up Ratio (BUR): 2.0 – 3.0:1 (for blown film, optimize for balance of properties).
• Cooling: Ensure efficient cooling for optimal film properties.

Packaging & Storage:

EXXONMOBIL™ LL 1002BU is typically supplied in 25 kg bags or bulk containers. For optimal product quality and to prevent contamination, store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep packaging sealed until ready for use.
