LLDPE is linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), which is ethylene combined with a small amount of higher alpha-olefins (such as butene-1, hexene-1, octene-1, tetramethylpentene-1, etc.) under high pressure to create non-toxic materials that meet FDA standards. LLDPE is odorless, tasteless, but extremely tough.

LLDPE is usually in the form of very flexible, lightweight, and durable tubes or fibers, making it suitable for producing high-quality POF shrink film.
