Global plastic films market: Increased use of LLDPE over other forms of PE
LLDPE, LDPE, and HDPE are polyethylene sheet liners that are used to manufacture plastic films for packaging and non-packaging purposes. However, LDPE is commonly used in plastic sheeting. LLDPE is widely accepted due to its advantages over other PE materials. LLDPE offers improved mechanical strength, conformability, and excellent optical strength. It is also more pliable and soft as compared to LDPE.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for packaging research, “LLDPE is used in making films that require high strength to absorb the impact while avoiding puncture or tearing. LLDPE is widely used in the production of plastic films, molds, and sheets.”
