Different types of PP and LLDPE

 Polypropylene (PP) and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) are both widely used plastics with different types, each suited for specific applications:


Types of Polypropylene (PP):


1 Homopolymer PP (PP-H):


*Properties: High strength, stiffness, and clarity.

*Applications: Used in packaging, textiles, automotive parts, and household goods.


2 Copolymer PP:


Random Copolymer:


*Properties: Better impact resistance, clarity, and flexibility.

*Applications: Ideal for food containers, pipes, and medical products.


3 Block Copolymer:


*Properties: Enhanced impact strength, particularly at low temperatures.

*Applications: Used in automotive components, industrial applications, and packaging.


4 Expanded PP (EPP):


*Properties: Lightweight, excellent energy absorption, and thermal insulation.


*Applications: Used in automotive parts, protective packaging, and insulation materials.


Types of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE):


1 Butene-Based LLDPE:


*Properties: Good tensile strength, flexibility, and impact resistance.


*Applications: Commonly used in general-purpose films, agricultural films, and packaging.


2 Hexene-Based LLDPE:


*Properties: Superior strength, puncture resistance, and clarity compared to butene-based LLDPE.


*Applications: High-performance films, heavy-duty bags, and stretch wraps.


3 Octene-Based LLDPE:


*Properties: Highest impact and tear resistance, with excellent stretch and seal properties.


*Applications: High-end films, food packaging, and stretch films.


4 Metallocene LLDPE (LLDPE):


*Properties: Enhanced processability, better mechanical properties, and clarity.


*Applications: High-performance packaging films, industrial wraps, and medical applications.
