About Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
LLDPE balances tensile strength, puncture resistance and processability — making it the workhorse for cast and blown film lines serving logistics, agriculture and FMCG packaging.
Applications
- Stretch and collation films for logistics
- Agricultural silage and mulch films
- Food and liquid packaging laminates
- Liners for construction and waste management
Credco tracks LLDPE slip, metallocene and general-purpose grades with daily ex-godown price updates from verified producers.
Common questions
- What is LLDPE?
- LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) is a polyethylene copolymer with short-chain branches that give film grades higher toughness and sealability than conventional LDPE at similar thickness.
- What is LLDPE used for?
- Common LLDPE uses include stretch wrap, silage and mulch film, liner bags, lamination layers and general-purpose packaging film for FMCG and industrial goods.
- LLDPE vs LDPE — what is the difference?
- LDPE has more long-chain branching and is softer; LLDPE has controlled short branches for stronger, thinner films. Many converters blend both for cost and performance balance.
- Where can I see live LLDPE prices in India?
- Credco publishes daily ex-godown LLDPE prices by grade — open the live price list or any LLDPE grade page for MFI specs, 30-day trends and technical datasheets where available.
