Linear low-density polyethylene

Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a type of polyethylene characterized by its low-density and linear molecular structure, which results in unique physical and chemical properties. It is produced through the copolymerization of ethylene with short-chain alpha-olefins, such as butene, hexene, or octene, which introduces branching in the polymer chains. This branching is less pronounced than in traditional low-density polyethylene (LDPE), allowing LLDPE to have different mechanical properties.
