DESCRIPTION
SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ is a butene linear low density polyethylene resin with an additive package typically designed for a
broader range of food applications (TNPP free). The good thermal stability allows to use the resin in critical extrusion
processing conditions. Films produced from SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ have better draw-down ability compared to lower MFR
LLDPE resins. This product is not intended for and must not be used in any pharmaceutical/medical applications.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ is typically used for food applications (lamination film, barrier film), melt embossed films, but can also
be used in industrial packaging such as cling film and stretch film for manual and pallet wrap. It can also be used as a
blending partner with other SABIC® PE resins in general-purpose blown and cast film applications.
