ExxonMobil LL 6202.19 LLDPE Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Tested per ASTM D4883, the material’s density is 0.926 g/cc (0.0335 lb/in³), reflecting a slightly higher mass-to-volume ratio.
• ESCR 10% Igepal®: Under Condition B of ASTM D1693, the environmental stress crack resistance is 180 hours, indicating durability against chemical stress.
• Melt Flow: As specified in ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 12 g/10 min at 190 °C (374 °F) under a 2.16 kg (4.76 lb) load.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Narrow molecular weight butane copolymer in the LLDPE category.
• Modification Features:
  
  • Tailored for applications demanding high toughness to withstand heavy usage.
  • Allows for easy processing with high tear resistance and low warpage for accurate manufacturing.
  • Contains standard processing antioxidants for improved stability.

Applications:

• Housewares
  • LL 6202.19: Widely used in the production of housewares such as storage containers, kitchen utensils, and other household items. 
• Lids and Closures
  • Ideal for manufacturing lids and closures for food packaging, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
  • Its high flow properties ensure precise molding of complex shapes, while its toughness and ESCR provide durability and resistance to cracking under stress or chemical exposure.
• Thin-Wall Articles
  • LL 6202.19: Well-suited for thin-wall injection-molded articles, such as disposable cutlery, medical trays, and lightweight packaging components.
  • Data Support: The resin’s flexural modulus (400 MPa) provides sufficient stiffness for thin-wall applications, while its impact strength ensures durability despite reduced material thickness. 
• Compounding
  • LL 6202.19: Used as a base resin in compounding applications to create custom polymer blends. 
• Industrial Components
  • Used in industrial applications, such as small molded parts for machinery or equipment, where a balance of toughness, stiffness, and processability is required. 

Performance Advantages

• • Processability: The high melt index (50 g/10 min) enables fast cycle times and efficient molding, reducing energy costs and increasing throughput.
  • Durability: High ESCR and impact strength ensure long-term performance in demanding applications.
  • Aesthetic Quality: Good gloss and clarity enhance the visual appeal of molded products, particularly for consumer goods like housewares and lids.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a range of applications, from consumer products to industrial components, due to its balanced mechanical properties.
