A new family of polyethylene resins has been developed by Montell based on the Spherilene Process Technology. LLDPE resins with improved processability, physical properties, and improved optics are a product of this new technology. These resins have competitive physical properties to conventional hexene and octene LLDPE’s and are ideally suited for high performance liner and stretch film applications. A second resin development is a high clarity polyethylene with the optics of high pressure LDPE and the strength properties of LLDPE. These resins are a good substitute for LDPE/LLDPE blends in lamination, specialty liner, industrial stretch film, and food packaging applications.
