Household
Proper containers—tough enough to resist leaks and breaks—are critical for protecting families from home chemicals, and plastic blown containers made from HDPE and LLDPE are the best way to accomplish that. When containing hazardous materials, being confident in the quality of your end product and the polymers used to make it is critical. That’s why Shell Polymers has taken extra measures to help ensure our final product meets your requirements.

Grade Slate 101
Understanding how we name our grade slates will be key to choosing the right melt index and density you need. Check out our unique naming convention below to know exactly what to look for when perusing our product bulletins.
Density is reflected by the first two numbers found in the nomenclature sequence, which in this instance is 18. These numbers represent the last two significant digits of the density value. See examples below.
18 = 0.918 density
53 = 0.953 density
63 = 0.963 density
Related Polyethylene Product Families
Leveraging high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) in applications makes durable products that can also be abrasion-and chemical-resistant. So when a part needs to be strong, versatile, and produced quickly, HDPE and LLDPE are strong contenders.
Related Conversion Processes
A few conversion processes can be used to make common items such as leak-resistant containers that keep your family safe from chemicals.
