SABIC® LLDPE 218WJA

LINEAR LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE


REGION AMERICAS

DESCRIPTION
SABIC® LLDPE 218WJA is a butene Linear Low Density Polyethylene TNPP free grade suitable for general‐purpose packaging. It is easy to
process giving good tensile properties, impact strength and optical properties. 218WJA contains slip and antiblock additives.

This product is not intended for and must not be used in any pharmaceutical/medical applications.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Lamination film, thin liners, shopping bags, carrier bags, garbage bags, coextruded films, consumer packaging and other general-purpose applications.

resources, the preservations of foodstuffs, etc. SABIC Europe considers polyethylene to be an environmentally efficient packaging material. Its low specific
energy consumption and insignificant emissions to air and water designate polyethylene as the ecological alternative in comparison with the traditional
packaging materials. Recycling of packaging materials is supported by SABIC Europe whenever ecological and social benefits are achieved and where a
social infrastructure for selective collecting and sorting of packaging is fostered. Whenever 'thermal' recycling of packaging (i.e. incineration with energy
recovery) is carried out, polyethylene -with its fairly simple molecular structure and low amount of additives- is considered to be a trouble-free fuel.

The environmental aspects of any packaging material do not only imply waste issues but have to be considered in relation with the use of natural
resources, the preservations of foodstuffs, etc. SABIC Europe considers polyethylene to be an environmentally efficient packaging material. Its low specific

PROCESSING CONDITIONS
Typical processing conditions for 218WJA are:
Melt temperature: 185 - 205°C, Blow up ratio: 2.0 - 3.0

STORAGE AND HANDLING


Polyethylene resin should be stored in a manner to prevent a direct exposure to sunlight and/or heat. The storage area should also be dry and preferably
do not exceed 50°C. SABIC would not give warranty to bad storage conditions which may lead to quality deterioration such as color change, bad smell
and inadequate product performance. It is advisable to process polyethylene resin within 6 months after delivery.
