QAPCO Lotrene Q2018H LLDPE Resin

Physical Properties

• Specific Gravity: Measured per ISO 1183, the material exhibits a specific gravity of 0.918 g/cc, consistent in both metric and English units.
• Thickness: With a thickness of 40.0 microns (1.57 mil), this specification ensures precision for thin-film applications.
• Melt Flow: As defined by ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 2.0 g/10 min under 2.16 kg (4.76 lb) at 190 °C (374 °F).
• Antiblock Level: The material contains 3200 ppm of antiblock additives, enhancing handling and preventing surface adhesion.
• Slip Level: Featuring 1500 ppm of erucamide slip agent, the formulation reduces friction for smooth processing and packaging.

Polymer Properties:

1. Base Material:Linear Low – Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
2. Key Features:
   • Increases heat resistance, suitable for higher – temperature applications.
   • Has good stress – crack resistance for long – lasting component integrity.
   • Provides good electrical insulation for electrical – related uses.
   • Facilitates good processability for injection and extrusion molding.

Applications:

• Heavy-Duty Bags: The superior toughness of this material makes it ideal for manufacturing heavy-duty bags, such as trash bags, refuse sacks, and industrial liners.
• Stretch Film: It is widely used for producing high-quality stretch wrap and films for pallet wrapping, providing excellent holding force and load stability during transit.
• Industrial Packaging: The durability of Lotrene Q2018H makes it a preferred choice for various industrial packaging needs, including heavy-duty sacks, bulk packaging, and protective covers for construction materials.
• Lamination Films: Its robust mechanical properties allow it to be used as a component in co-extruded films to enhance the overall strength and durability of multi-layer packaging structures.
