Lotrene Q1018H resin is a high performance linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) material produced by QATOFIN. The resin uses butene (C4) as a comonomer and is produced in a gas phase reactor. As an excellent performance LLDPE resin, Q1018H can be widely used in blown film applications, suitable for multiple fields such as consumer, agricultural, industrial, food or hygiene packaging.

Main Applications of Lotrene Q1018H Resin
- Consumer packaging. Q1018H can be used for food packaging, daily necessities packaging, etc. By using its high transparency, good mechanical properties and thermal stability to ensure the safety and aesthetics of the product.
- Agricultural uses. For example, agricultural film, greenhouse covering film, etc., using its weather resistance and aging resistance to meet the long-term needs of agricultural production.
- Industrial uses. Such as industrial packaging film, tunnel film, covering film, etc., using its high strength and tear resistance to ensure the safe transportation and storage of industrial products.
- Sanitary packaging. LLDPE Q1018H can be used as medical supplies packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, etc., using its hygienic properties and stability to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical and pharmaceutical products.
Performance Characteristics
- Excellent processability. Lotrene Q1018H resin has good processability and is suitable for a variety of processing methods such as blown film.
- Compatibility. The resin can be used in pure form or mixed with other polyethylene resins (such as LDPE, HDPE and mPE resins) to change the properties of the film to meet the needs of different applications.
- Good thermal stability. LLDPE Q1018H resin can maintain stable performance during processing and use.
- Good tensile strength to ensure that the finished product has excellent durability.
- High elongation at break. It shows high elongation at break in both the machine direction (MD) and the transverse direction (TD), such as 800% at MD and 850% at TD.
- Tear strength. Q1018H resin has a high Elmandorf tear strength to improve the tear resistance of the product.
- Good gloss. The blown film has good gloss, such as a gloss value of 60 measured under the ASTM D 2457 standard.
- Low haze value ensures high transparency of the product.
- Anti-caking properties. High anti-caking properties help prevent the product from sticking during storage and use.
