Dow add series hexene LLDPE

The hexene copolymers based on LLDPE and mLLDPE film resins introduced by Dow Chemical Company are similar to our standard octene copolymers and are all polymerized using a solution polymerization process. The company's initial new products on the market include six Dowlex-series grades polymerized by Ziegler-Natta catalysts and an Elite-enhanced PE grade produced by the Insite metallocene catalytic process. The new hexene series features low cost and high performance and can be used as a substitute for octene grades. Among them, six new Dowlex hexenes have a density range from 0.9919 to 0.930 9 g/cm3, a melt mass flow rate between 0.75 to 0.90 g/10 min, and another based on ElitemLLDPE. The density of the alkene is 0·917 0 g/cm3, and the melt mass flow rate reaches 4·5 g/10min.
