SABIC® LLDPE 218BE 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 218BE have better draw-down ability compared to lower MFR LLDPE resins.

SABIC® LLDPE 218BE is a Linear Low Density Polyethylene natural resin typically used for wire and cable applications.

SABIC® LLDPE 218BE contains a high level of antioxidants and does not contain any antiblock and/or slip agents. It also exhibits good Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR).

Sufficient Cu-inhibitor should be added to meet specific ageing requirements. For jacketing applications, addition of Carbon Black or UV stabilizer is required.

Application
  • Blown Film: SABIC® LLDPE 218BE is typically used for food applications (lamination film, barrier film) but can also be used in industrial packaging and as blending partner with other SABIC® PE resins in both blown and cast film applications.
  • Cast Film: SABIC® LLDPE 218BE is typically used for food applications (lamination film, barrier film) and pallet hand wrap.
  • Masterbatch Compounding: It is suitable for additive masterbatches (eg. slip agents, anti fog agents, anti static agents, thermal stabilizers) in film and blow moulding applications.
  • Wire & Cable Extrusion:
    • Telecommunication and Power cable (LV, MV, HV) jacketing.
    • Halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) compounds.
    • One-step or two-steps silane crosslinkable for cable insulation.

The product mentioned herein is in particular not tested and therefore not validated for use in pharmaceutical/medical applications.
