Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Market Definition
Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a linear polymer with substantial numbers of short branches which is generally formed by copolymerization of ethylene with longer-chain olefins. Linear low-density polyethylene is structurally different from conventional low-density polyethylene (LDPE) due to the absence of branching. The linearity of LLDPE results from the different manufacturing processes of LDPE and LLDPE. In general, LLDPE is formed at lower pressures and temperatures by copolymerization of ethylene. LLDPE is produced by copolymerization process which has a narrower molecular weight distribution than conventional LDPE.
Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Rising demand of low density polyethylene (LLDPE) in packaging sector
Low density polyethylene (LLDPE) has superior toughness property as compare to other materials which has widened its application scope in several industries. Most of the low density polyethylene is consumed on a global scale in variety of film applications such as food and non-food packaging. This polyethylene is also used in production of non-packaging and stretch/shrink film. Growth in the low density polyethylene (LLDPE) market is also occurring from the transition of commodities form rigid containers to high quality flexible packages. The rising demand of low density polyethylene (LLDPE) in packaging sector is expected to drive the growth rate of the market.
- Rising demand of high-performance linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)
High-performance linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) (HPPE) holds several profitable properties such as high strength and high resistance from strong organic solvents such as acids and bases. High-performance linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) also has low coefficient of friction because of this it is used in numerous applications, such as lubrication of machinery, metal protection, pharmaceutical applications in the food and beverages and others industry. High-performance linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is anticipated to boost the demand of the linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) in the market.
Opportunities
- Increasing application of the linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) in injection molding
Injection molding is important application of linear low-density polyethylene, which is contributing approximately 2,500 kilo tons in 2015. Injection molding is a major part of manufacturing technology and it is used for the production of plastic products such as automotive dashboards, bottle caps, pocket combs and wire spools. The major advantages of injection molding are minimal scrap losses, low labor cost, better-finished parts, repeatable high tolerances, and high production rates. Therefore, growing application of injection molding increases the demand for the linear low-density polyethylene market value and expected to generate lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market.
Also, the development of new and innovative products and advancements in the technology are also some other factor for contributing in revenue growth of the market and further create immense opportunities for the growth of the linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) market.
