Metallocene LLDPE Films for Heavy Duty Sack Applications, 2005 PLACE Conference
Polyethylene-based heavy-duty shipping sacks are used around the world to package and shipproducts such as soil, fertilizer, mulch, gravel, and pelletized resin. Approximately1000 kilotons (kt) of polyethylene is converted into heavy-duty sacks annually around theworld. Previously, our company analyzed a variety of heavy-duty sacks and foundsacks made from m-LLDPE blends and co-extruded films exhibit a superior balance ofmechanical, optical and sealing properties versus traditional Zeigler-Natta resins. Now, EMCChas taken this performance a step further.
