Short term for Polyethylene resin. The three types of polyethylene resin are LDPE, LLDPE and HMW-HDPE (see below). Other plastic resins include vinyl, polypropylene, styrene and nylon.
(Low Density Polyethylene)
This resin was used with older can liner technology. Resin has good clarity but weak film strength. Today it is used primarily for Food and Utility Bags.
(Linear Low Density Polyethylene) This is the primary type of resin used in modern can liner manufacturing technology. Greater film strength allows for high puncture and tear resistance.
(High Molecular Weight – High Density Polyethylene)
This relatively new resin has greater film strength, but weaker puncture and tear resistance than LLDPE.
One of three types of LLDPE resin. Butene has weaker film strength properties than Hexene or Octene.
One of three types of LLDPE resin. Used in other applications because of its excellent physical properties.
Refers to the usage of high quality, "fresh from the reactor", resin.
Refers to the combination of two or more types of resin.
Used to describe bottom of a can liner. The three types of seals are flat, gusseted and star. (See Bottom Seal section.)
Straight seal along bottom of a can liner (looks like a pillow case). Though Flat Seals are Strong, they may have a tendency to leak wet trash from the corners.
A flat-style bag manufactured with both sides tucked in to form gussets. Has a tendency to leak wet trash from the center at gusset points where four layers of film meet two.
Designed without gussets, the Star Seal eliminates gaps along the seal where leak occur. The bottom of the bag is folded over several times and sealed. Trash rests on the material instead of the seals. This leak-resistant seal holds wet trash better than the
other two types of seals.
An innovative style of box that allows stacking in small spaces. It is just as easy to pull a can liner from the side
as it is the top.
Can liners are separately folded, then stacked on top of one another. This allows the end user to pull liners out of the box with much more ease.
Can liners are rolled together on the top of a cardboard cylinder (looks similar to a roll of paper towels). Can liners come inside a special box that dispenses with ease.
Can liners are rolled in groups of 25 or 50 per roll. There are 4 to 10 rolls per case. End user can separate can liners by tearing along the perforated line.
