SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ

LINEAR LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE

DESCRIPTION
SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ is a butene linear low density polyethylene resin with an additive package typically designed for a
broader range of food applications (TNPP free). The good thermal stability allows to use the resin in critical extrusion
processing conditions. Films produced from SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ have better draw-down ability compared to lower MFR
LLDPE resins. This product is not intended for and must not be used in any pharmaceutical/medical applications.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
SABIC® LLDPE 218BJ is typically used for food applications (lamination film, barrier film), melt embossed films, but can also
be used in industrial packaging such as cling film and stretch film for manual and pallet wrap. It can also be used as a
blending partner with other SABIC® PE resins in general-purpose blown and cast film applications.

ENVIRONMENT AND RECYCLING
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 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.

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 PE resin
within 6 months after delivery.
