ExxonMobil LD 071.LQ LDPE Resin

ExxonMobil™ LD 071.LQ is a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin specifically designed for high-performance cast film and thin film applications.

Physical Properties

  • Density: Measured by ExxonMobil Method, the density is 0.924 g/cc (0.0334 lb/in³), characterizing the resin’s molecular packing density and fundamental physical properties.
  • Thickness: With an unspecified test method, the thickness is 50.8 microns (2.00 mil), a key specification for film design and application.
  • Melt Flow: According to ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 0.70 g/10 min under a load of 2.16 kg and at 190 °C, reflecting the resin’s fluidity during extrusion processing.
  • Antiblock Level: Using an unspecified test method, the antiblock level is 4000 ppm, minimizing film surface stickiness through additives for easier production and storage.

Polymer Properties:

  • Base Material: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
  • Key Features:
    • Exceptional Optical Properties: LD 071.LQ is renowned for its superior clarity, high gloss, and low haze.
    • High Purity and Cleanliness: With a very low gel content and minimal additives, this resin ensures a clean melt stream during processing.
    • Good Mechanical Properties: LD 071.LQ provides a robust combination of strength and flexibility.

Applications:

The unique combination of high optical quality, excellent processability, and purity makes LD 071.LQ an ideal material for a variety of demanding film applications.

  • High-Clarity Packaging Films: Used for packaging a wide range of consumer goods, including food, textiles, and other items where product visibility is essential for consumer appeal.
  • High-Speed Cast Films: Its excellent flow and low gel content are perfect for high-speed cast film extrusion, resulting in thin, uniform films with superior properties.
  • Lamination and Extrusion Coating: The high purity and low additive content of this resin make it suitable for lamination and extrusion coating processes.
  • Medical and Hygiene Films: Due to its low extractable levels and high purity, this grade is a strong candidate for films used in medical devices, hygienic products, or other sensitive applications.
