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.
SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ is a Linear Low Density Polyethylene natural resin typically used for wire and cable applications.
SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ contains a high level of antioxidants and does not contain any antiblock and/or slip agents. It also exhibits good Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR).
Sufficient Cu-inhibitor should be added to meet specific ageing requirements. For jacketing applications, addition of Carbon Black or UV stabilizer is required.
Applications
- Blown Film: SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ is typically used for food applications (lamination film, barrier film) but can also be used in industrial packaging and as blending partner with other SABIC® PE resins in both blown and cast film applications.
- SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ is typically used for food applications (lamination film, barrier film) and pallet hand wrap.
- Masterbatch Compounding: It is suitable for additive masterbatches (eg. slip agents, anti fog agents, anti static agents, thermal stabilizers) in film and blow moulding applications.
- Telecommunication and Power cable (LV, MV, HV) jacketing.
- Halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) compounds.
- One-step or two-steps silane crosslinkable for cable insulation.
