| Description |
Linear low density polyethylene is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a substantially linear synthetic polymer with significant numbers of short branches, composed of at least 85% by weight of ethylene units. |
| Application |
Low Melt Polyethylene fibers are used in heat set applications for thermal bonding, and in refractory or foundry applications to aid in the release of gases and pressure buildup. |
