  • High Density Polyethylene Grades (HDPE): Provides detailed specifications for different types of high density polyethylene produced by Reliance Polymers, including MFI, density, and typical applications.
  • Linear and Low Density Polyethylene Grades (LLDPE & LDPE): Describes the characteristics and uses of linear and low density polyethylene variants, focusing on film extrusion, coating, and molding properties.

POLYETHYLENE (PE) - Grades & Applications

Reliance Polymers offers the entire range of Polyethylene (PE) viz. High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Linear Low Density Polyethylene
(LLDPE) and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) manufactured by state-of-the-art technologies available worldwide. Both HDPE &
LLDPE are available in a wide range of MFI & density for a broad spectrum of applications. HDPE grades are specially designed to meet
demanding applications like high-pressure pipes, telecom ducts, carrier bags, woven sacks, injection and blow moulded products.
Octene & butene grade LLDPE from Reliance are used extensively in specialty films, milk & edible oil packaging, lamination films, cast
films, stretch films and other applications like rotational moulding and injection moulded products. LDPE finds extensive use in heavy-
duty films, lamination films, extrusion coating & moulding applications.
