Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Resin
LLDPE resin is an ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer produced via copolymerization of ethylene with alpha-olefins like 1-butene or 1-hexene, resulting in a specific gravity below 0.94 and enhanced flexibility compared to LDPE. It is supplied in primary pellet form for conversion into films and packaging materials. Classified under HTS 3901.40.00.00 due to its specific gravity and copolymer composition meeting the 95% monomer contribution rule.
Metallocene LLDPE (mLLDPE) Pellets
Metallocene-catalyzed LLDPE pellets are narrow molecular weight distribution ethylene copolymers with 1-octene, featuring specific gravity under 0.94 for superior stretch film properties. Used primarily in primary form before extrusion. Falls under 3901.40.00.00 as the alpha-olefin comonomer meets the 95% weight threshold.
Octene-Based LLDPE Granules
Granules of LLDPE copolymerized with 1-octene offer low specific gravity (<0.94) and high tensile strength, ideal for agricultural films in primary form. The ethylene and octene units comprise over 95% by weight. Precisely matches HTS 3901.40.00.00 criteria for alpha-olefin copolymers.
Butene LLDPE Resin for Packaging
Ethylene-1-butene copolymer resin with specific gravity less than 0.94, optimized for blown film extrusion in food packaging applications. Primary pellets ensure processability and clarity. Classified here per specific gravity and copolymer purity rules in subheading notes.
Hexene-Comonomer LLDPE Pellets
High-performance LLDPE pellets using 1-hexene as alpha-olefin comonomer, specific gravity <0.94, for heavy-duty sacks and liners. Supplied in virgin primary form. Meets exact definition under 3901.40.00.00 for low-density copolymers.
VLDPE (Very Low Density Polyethylene) Resin
VLDPE resin, an ultra-low density ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer (SG <0.94, often 0.88-0.91), used for elastic films and sealants in primary pellet form. Alpha-olefin like 1-octene provides elastomeric properties. Directly covered by HTS 3901.40.00.00 specificity.
