Global Linear Low-density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Market 2017-2021

About Linear Low-density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

LLDPE is part of the polyolefins family. It is a type of polyethylene (PE) with a density less than 965 kg/m and is mainly produced by a low-pressure process. Polyolefins are mainly produced from the olefin monomers due to the presence of a highly reactive double bond. LLDPE is a linear polymer with large numbers of short branches, produced by the copolymerization of ethylene with higher alpha olefin co-monomers such as hexene, butene, and octene. Co-monomers are mainly used to control the physical properties of LLDPE.
