ExxonMobil LLDPE 1002AY, also known as C4LL 2018.AY, is a linear low-density polyethylene resin developed for flexible film applications. It is a butene-based copolymer that combines ethylene with a small proportion of butene comonomer to achieve a balance of mechanical strength, flexibility, and film-forming performance.

This grade is suitable for blown film and cast film processing. Its combination of tensile properties, toughness, and surface gloss makes it a candidate for various packaging and industrial film applications. It can also be blended with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to adjust processing behavior and finished-film characteristics.

Main Applications of ExxonMobil LLDPE 1002AY

  1. Shopping Bags and General-Purpose Packaging. LLDPE 1002AY can be used in the manufacture of shopping bags, general-purpose packaging bags, and other flexible packaging products. Film thickness and formulation can be adjusted to meet different requirements for strength, appearance, and load-bearing performance.
  2. Industrial Packaging and Liner Films. The resin is suitable for evaluating in industrial packaging films, bin liners, garbage bags, and related products that require a balance of flexibility and mechanical durability.
  3. Agricultural Films. Depending on the formulation and processing setup, LL 1002AY may be considered for selected agricultural film applications, including mulch films. Outdoor service life and weather resistance should be assessed separately, particularly when long-term exposure to sunlight is expected.
  4. Food Packaging and Multilayer Films. This grade may be considered for selected food packaging films and multilayer structures, subject to application requirements. For food-contact use, buyers should verify the relevant compliance documentation and assess the complete packaging structure against the regulations of the target market.
  5. Garment and Personal Care Packaging. Exxonmobil LL 1002AY can also be evaluated for garment bags, protective packaging, and selected personal care product packaging. The final grade selection should reflect the required film appearance, flexibility, sealing performance, and production method.

Purchasing Considerations

When sourcing Exxonmobil LLDPE 1002AY, buyers should review the following points:

Grade identification: Confirm the exact grade designation and product version, particularly when comparing blown film and cast film requirements.

Technical parameters: Check density, melt index, tensile properties, impact resistance, and optical performance against the intended application.

Additive package: Verify the presence or absence of antiblock agents, slip agents, processing aids, and thermal stabilizers.

Processing compatibility: Evaluate the resin against the production line, film thickness, formulation, and end-use requirements.

Quality documentation: Request the latest TDS, Safety Data Sheet (SDS), batch-specific quality certificate, and applicable regulatory documents.
