Surely in todays life, plastic items are too familiar and close to us. There are many products on the market made from different types of plastic. Each type has outstanding characteristics and flexible applications to meet consumer tastes. Among them, LLDPE virgin plastic beads possess outstanding advantages compared to conventional plastics. Therefore, it is being widely applied in many different areas of life. So what is LLDPE plastic, is it safe, what are its properties and applications? The answer will be in ROTOs article below. Lets find out together now!
What is LLDPE?
LLDPE stands for Linear Low Density Polyethylene (Linear low-density polythylene) is a type of polymer combined with short branches. It is produced by copolymerization of ethylene monomers with long chain olefins. The copolymerization process produces LLDPE with a low molecular weight, density 0.91-0.94g/cm3.
LLDPE plastic pellets
On the current market, LLDPE is considered the 2nd most widely used material in the world, mainly in the food wrap and container manufacturing industry, the production of molded plastic products, and the production of molded plastic products. produces household products, and many other applications that serve a variety of different needs.
Characteristics of LLDPE plastic pellets
- LLDPE plastic has an extremely low density, ranging from 0.88 - 0.93 cm3.
- The molecular chain of LLDPE plastic has many short branches.
- LLDPE plastic particles are non-toxic, odorless, tasteless, milky white
- During cutting, LLDPE maintains great viscosity. Therefore, it is not as easy to process as LDPE even though it has the same melt index
- During the calcination process, LLDPE has lower viscosity at different deformation levels. So it does not strain when stretched like LDPE
- Melting temperature ranges from 240 to 260 degrees F (115 to 125 degrees C).
- Able to balance acid and alkali, resistant to organic solvents and good electrical insulation.
- Retains flexibility at extremely low temperatures.
Advantages of LLDPE plastic pellets
LLDPE plastic is a virgin plastic line, LLDPE plastic beads are one of the groups of PE plastic beads. Therefore, it also possesses the same outstanding advantages as PE such as being able to withstand acids, alkalis and organic solvents very well. In addition, this material also has extremely good electrical insulating properties. At low temperatures, the toughness of this plastic particle is still guaranteed.
The mechanical strength of LLDPE material can be mentioned as: Surface hardness, tensile strength, hardness,... are all much higher than LDPE. In addition, LLDPE plastic also possesses a number of its own advantages, including:
- Light weight, effective impact resistance
- Easy to clean
- Can meet the guidelines of food handling
- Ingredients do not contain toxic substances, are colorless, odorless, tasteless and safe for consumers health
In terms of puncture resistance, LLDPE can be said to be the best compared to plastic pellets on the market today, along with its resistance to cracking. Therefore, this is considered an ideal material to produce thin films, possibly even thinner than films made from LDPE virgin plastic beads. However, the durability of the film from LLDPE will fully meet the criteria set by consumers.
Application of LLDPE plastic pellets
In the world, over 80% of LLDPE plastic production is used in the production of wrapping films. These include food packaging, non-food packaging, shrink film, stretch film and general non-packaging uses, etc. With the current trend of food wrapping films with high performance and less wet. The purpose is to increase shelf life and ensure the flavor of foods.
Application of LLDPE plastic as food wrap
LLDPE resins are used in extrusion coating applications to protect liquid products in containers, paper and board packaging. Some other films include multi-layer molded stretch films, agricultural glass films, and medium to heavy duty sack products. In the field of injection molding, LLDPE products go through the injection molding process such as kitchen accessories, furniture, entertainment products and toys.
LLDPE plastic can be used for blow molding in the production of containers, hollow products, bottles, etc. Currently, the growth and development of LLDPE has exceeded that of LDPE in terms of market share.
In addition, the most prominent application of LLDPE plastic pellets is in the production of domestic water tanks for households, businesses and other manufacturing industries. In particular, ROTO has used "100% virgin plastic LLDPE - extracted from petroleum ore, without any impurities" combined with "Revolving Mold Technology" to create water tanks with many outstanding features. mentioned as:

Health Safety: LLDPE plastic is a pure plastic with excellent chemical resistance.. this ensures that water tanks made from virgin plastic do not contain dirty particles, toxic substances or recyclable particles that can pollute your familys drinking water. From this outstanding advantage, virgin plastic tanks will be the ideal environment to contain clean and safe water sources for human health.
High Durability: the structure of plastic particles is highly durable, resistant to abrasion and resistant to the effects of environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, high temperatures, chemicals, and water pressure , helps the water tank in protecting the water source from impurities, while also helping to increase the longevity of the product so that it can be used for a long time without deformation, cracking, and algae resistance.
Lightweight and Easy to Move: the properties of virgin LLDPE plastic are often lighter than other materials such as steel, ceramic, or concrete, making it easier to move and install water tanks. This is especially useful in case you want to change the position of the water tank or move it to another place quickly and conveniently.
Designs, colors are diverse and convenient

One of the outstanding advantages of ROTO water tanks is their diverse designs, giving users more flexibility in choosing capacity and shape. There are versions with capacities from 500 liters to thousands of liters, suitable for use from households to businesses and manufacturing industries. The shape of the tub is the highlight of the diversity, including standing and lying styles to help users choose the tub that suits their space and purpose of use.
In addition, ROTO water tanks also come in three popular colors that are very popular with customers, helping to blend in with the surrounding environment and create an aesthetic highlight for any space.
Not only does it meet the above criteria, ROTO water tank products also meet strict standards for the safety and hygiene of domestic water sources. For that reason, international organizations always trust and choose ROTOs water tank products and ROTO has been accompanying international organizations such as: CARE, Save The Children, Novaland, Worldbank, Vietnam womens union,...
