Natural SABIC 118NJ LLDPE Granule

DESCRIPTION

SABIC® LLDPE 118NJ is a butene linear low density polyethyleneresin typically used for general purpose applications. Films produced from this resin are tough with good puncture resistance, high tensile strength and good hot tack properties. 118NJ is TNPP free and it does not contain slip and antiblock additive.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Shipping sacks, ice bags, frozen food bags, stretch wrap film, produce bags, liners, carrier bags, garbage bags, agricultural films, laminated and coextruded films for meat wrap, frozen food and other food packaging, shrink film (for blending with LDPE), industrial consumer packaging, and high clarity film applications if blended with (10 - 20%) LDPE.

ENVIRONMENT AND RECYCLING

The environmental aspects of any packaging material do not only imply waste issues but have to be considered in relation with the use of natural resources, the preservations of foodstuffs, etc. SABIC Europe considers polyethylene to be an environmentally efficient packaging material. Its low specific energy consumption and insignificant emissions to air and water designate polyethylene as the ecological alternative in comparison with the traditional packaging materials. Recycling of packaging materials is supported by SABIC Europe whenever ecological and social benefits are achieved and where a social infrastructure for selective collecting and sorting of packaging is fostered. Whenever 'thermal' recycling of packaging (i.e. incineration with energy recovery) is carried out, polyethylene -with its fairly simple molecular structure and low amount of additives- is considered to be a trouble-free fuel.
