Chevron Phillips Marlex 7109FJ LLDPE Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured per ASTM D1505, the material’s density is 0.918 g/cc (0.0332 lb/in³), reflecting standard thermoplastic properties for lightweight applications.
• Thickness: At 25.4 microns (1.00 mil, as tested), the dimension offers a balance of thinness and structural integrity for film or sheet applications.
• Melt Flow: As specified in ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 0.90 g/10 min under a 2.16 kg (4.76 lb) load at 190 °C (374 °F).
• Antiblock Level: With 2500 ppm of antiblock additives, the formulation prevents film sticking, ensuring smooth handling in packaging and industrial uses.
• Slip Level: The 1000 ppm slip agent content reduces surface friction, enhancing material flow during manufacturing and facilitating easy release in end products.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Linear Low – Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
• Key Features:
  
  • Modified to ensure good stiffness at thin gauges through precise control of crystallinity.
  • Has excellent drawdown properties due to specific processing aids, and shows good compatibility for blending with LDPE or HDPE.
  • Contains a low amount of antiblocking agent to prevent film sticking during production and use.

Applications:

• Cosmetics Packaging: Perfect for manufacturing thin – walled plastic containers for cosmetics, providing a lightweight yet sturdy packaging solution.
• Electronics Packaging: Used in high – clarity packaging for electronics, offering clear visibility of the product while providing reliable protection.
• Pallet Wrapping: Suitable for creating stretch hood films that securely wrap palletized goods, ensuring stability during transportation.
• Food Service Packaging: Applied in making disposable food containers that balance cost – effectiveness with sufficient strength and durability.
