Recently a third group of polyethylenes, called Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) appeared on the market, also made by a low pressure process. LLDPE is manufactured by co-polymerizing ethylene with a small amount of alpha-olefins ... which lowers the density by forming short chain side branches on the linear polymer chain. 3, record 1, English, - linear%20low%20density%20polyethylene
