DOWLEX™ - Polyethylene Resins

Let’s talk a little bit about a product that stands the test of time…in more ways than one. Not only has Dow been producing DOWLEX™ Polyethylene Resins for decades, but these economical, versatile, workhorse resins are also strong performers.

Need toughness? DOWLEX™ resins deliver excellent puncture and tear resistance. Need weatherability? Trust in UV resistance and water/moisture resistance. Need holding force? DOWLEX™ resins stand out for use in pallet wraps and agricultural bale wrap. Want speed? You’ll enjoy efficient line speeds for conversion and filling.

There’s more. DOWLEX™ resins provide flexible film applications with:

• A wide temperature range (for refrigerated and frozen packaging)

• Consistent seal performance

• Easy blendability

• Impact and abrasion resistance

• Optics comparable or better to competitive options

• Uncommon durability

And one of the most attractive features: their ability for downgauging without a loss of structural integrity or processing efficiency.

Ready for Anything

One of the long-term champions of the Dow portfolio, DOWLEX™ resins can be used practically anywhere across virtually every flexible packaging end-use market and application, including:

• Agricultural films

• Blown and cast film

• Food and specialty packaging

• Industrial and consumer packaging

• Liners

• Shrink film

• Stretch hood

• Stretch wrap

Higher Performance and Processability

DOWLEX® Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) delivers higher performance and processability and has a wide variety of applications in blown and cast film, multi-layer, double bubble, extrusion coatings, injection moulding, pipes, and rotomoulding. They have also become a material of choice for hot and cold water pipes, floor heating pipes (PE-RT), membranes, and other durable goods.

A Breakthrough in the Plastics Industry

DOWLEX® LLDPE has been a breakthrough in the plastics industry. After its introduction in the US in 1978, sales began in Europe in 1980. The first European plant started in 1982 in Terneuzen, Netherlands. During the 1980s, the dynamic and success in the markets were so significant that two other plants in Schkopau, Germany, and Tarragona, Spain, followed.

Meanwhile, DOWLEX® Polyethylene is one of the leading LLDPE products in Europe and is successfully used in several industries, including industrial, food, and medical packaging, as well as hygiene, consumer, and dairy goods, and floor heating and drinking water pipes (DOWLEX® 2344, DOWLEX® 2377, DOWLEX® 2388).

Versatile Applications

For customers who require more toughness, puncture resistance, dart drop impact, or good tear resistance, DOWLEX® Polyethylene Resins from The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) and distributed by the RESINEX Group throughout Europe offer these qualities and much more.

DOWLEX® LLDPE Resins are frequently used in:

• Extrusion blown film

• Cast film applications to wrap pallet loads with sharp corners and irregular shapes

• Stretch hood film applications

Their combination of toughness, easy processing, and the ability to down gauge is ideal for industrial and consumer film applications that require more strength and puncture resistance. The impact resistance, hot tack strength, gloss, performance, and downgauging possibilities on production lines of these Linear Low Density C8 Octane and C6 Hexane PE materials provide a real advantage in food and specialty packaging and lamination film applications, such as frozen food film. For hygiene films, DOWLEX® PE Resins are often the materials of choice, and in agricultural film applications such as silage wrap film and mulch film, DOWLEX® PE Resins have set many new standards of performance.

Resinex and DOW are committed to providing solutions in the technical, food, and specialty packaging film market with superior technical service capabilities. We believe that our partnership with you will help deliver the most economical, sustainable, and high-performing solutions tailored to your specific needs.
