Chevron Phillips Marlex 7120X LLDPE Resin

Physical Properties

• Specific Gravity: Measured following ASTM D1505, the specific gravity is 0.919 g/cc (0.919 g/cc).
• Melt Flow: Per ASTM D1238, at 190 °C/2.16 kg, the melt flow rate of 2.0 g/10 min enhances processing, enabling faster and more complex film formation.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Linear Low – Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
• Key Features:
  
  • Balanced Processability: A good balance of melt strength and flow properties is achieved.
  • Superior Mechanical Strength: The resin has excellent mechanical properties, which ensures the durability and stretchability of the film.
  • High Tear Resistance: Marlex® 7120X has extremely high tear strength, making it ideal for applications requiring tear resistance.
  • Good Film Stiffness: The density of the resin helps to achieve good film stiffness.

Applications:

The combination of balanced mechanical properties and good processability makes Marlex® 7120X a reliable material for general-purpose and high-performance film applications.

• General Purpose Bags: Ideal for producing shopping bags, produce bags, and other consumer bags that require a good balance of strength and clarity.
• Industrial and Food Packaging: Used for various types of packaging films that require durability and consistency, including those for food contact applications.
• Stretch Film: The puncture resistance and strength are well-suited for stretch wrap and pallet wrapping, providing secure load stability.
• Industrial Liners: The resin’s toughness makes it a strong choice for industrial liners and protective covers.
