It is the most flexible resin production process across the full range of industrial and consumer films applications.ĭOWLEX™ PE Resins can be utilized in a wide variety of applications. Third, octene-based LLDPE will be targeted for higher value and more demanding applications.ĭow Solution Process Technology, a global production capability, differentiates Dow LLDPE resins by allowing greater molecular weight distribution control and the production of consistent polyolefin products with processability, blending, impact, sealability, and film handling advantages. Second, they should have greater LLDPE supply reliability because of Dow’s flexibility to use either hexene or octene as LLDPE comonomers. First, film converters now have the opportunity to be more cost-competitive because of the ability to select products from a broader portfolio of resins from Dow that meet their application performance requirements. The commercial availability of hexene-based LLDPE products from Dow delivers three important benefits for liner and stretch film companies. "These new hexene-based products are expected to meet the functional needs of various applications, while Dow Solution Technology provides the processing, blending, and end-use performance advantages film converters have come to expect from DOWLEX PE and ELITE EPE Resins," said Joe Laehu, North American Plastics Market Manager for Industrial and Consumer Packaging Films, The Dow Chemical Company. "This announcement signals a long term commitment by Dow to manufacture and supply hexene-based solution process technology resins." Differentiated by Dow Solution Technology, the new products are manufactured using hexene comonomer and will be targeted at a variety of applications in the 1.9 billion lb consumer liner and 1.4 billion lb stretch films markets. The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) has significantly broadened its North American portfolio of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) resins for the industrial and consumer films industry with the commercial launch of six new DOWLEX™ Polyethylene Resins and one new ELITE™ Enhanced Polyethylene (EPE) Resin.
