New polymer grades Metallocene LLDPE & Hexene based HDPE:
GAIL is the first ever Indian producer of metallocene catalyst based LLDPE film grade polymer. Metallocene LLDPE (mLLDPE) polymer is used in a number of applications such as packaging, agriculture, hygiene and personal care, cross laminated tarpaulins, industrial applications etc. Metallocene based LLDPE offer performance attributes that add value to a customer's business and across the value chain for sustained growth. Depending on the application, MF18S010U/MF18A010U offer a wide range of benefits including toughness, sealing, enhanced tear properties, better elongation, easy processing, outstanding optics & down gauging possibilities.
GAIL has also produced first ever new hexene based high density polyethylene for pipe extrusion and blow moulding in India.
