- In polyethylene: Linear low-density polyethylene
LLDPE is structurally similar to LDPE. It is made by copolymerizing ethylene with 1-butene and smaller amounts of 1-hexene and 1-octene, using Ziegler-Natta or metallocene catalysts. The resultant structure has a linear backbone, but it has short, uniform branches that, like the…
