Toys

LLDPE and HDPE have long played a major role in the toy industry, due to their cost-effectiveness, molding capabilities, and ability to produce complex shapes. Specifically, rotomolded plastic has a variety of benefits, including its resistance to breaking or staining. At Shell Polymers, we aim to provide high-quality polymers that plastic converters big and small rely on to create toys.

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.

Graphic displaying “18F1B1.” “18” is highlighted in red.

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 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.

A few conversion processes can be used to make the flexible polyethylene toys little ones love.
