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

Leveraging linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE Resin) in applications makes durable products. So when a part needs to be strong, impact- and puncture-resistant, LLDPE plastic is a great contender.
LLDPE Resin
LLDPE has a variety of benefits and is known for its resistance to breaking or staining, molding capabilities and the ability to produce complex shapes.
Related Markets
Known for its ability to create complex shapes, rotomolding is used in the Toys and Outdoor Living markets.
