Thanks to the reduction of weight and compact size, the Eco Low Profile solutions significantly reduce energy consumption during production and the amount of plastic used, as well as ensuring considerable savings and lower logistics costs. Furthermore, the entire plastic cap injection moulding process involves a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the use of fossil fuels.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the power of the injection molding machine or add other low molecular weight plastics to increase its fluidity.
Generally control the mold temperature in the range of 50-80 ℃, in order to reduce the injection cycle time at the same time and improve the appearance of the quality of the parts.

As the most produced variety among polyethylene resins, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) stands out with its exceptional comprehensive properties and extensive applicability. In recent years, the market demand for LLDPE has skyrocketed, leading to a growing interest in the LLDPE injection molding process.
Compared to LDPE material, it has a higher softening temperature and melting point, boasting advantages such as greater strength, good toughness, increased rigidity, excellent heat and cold resistance.
Additionally, rigidity is intrinsically related to density. Thus, the lower the density, the less rigid the material will be, rendering it slightly softer.
Firstly, both LDPE and LLDPE possess excellent rheological or melt flow properties. However, LLDPE has lesser shear sensitivity due to its narrow molecular weight distribution and shorter branches.
The ELP patented closure (Flip-Top closure for 50 mm diameter tubes with Snap-On coupling, item 772) represents our most recent technological development in sustainable packaging: thanks to its small size, this cap – 50% lighter than traditional caps – brings huge savings in material and logistics management for the overall packaging.
Because LLDPE material is an olefin plastic, it does not absorb water, when producing, no drying is required, but for product quality, it can be dried at a temperature of 60℃ for 1hr to discharge floating water.
Linear low density polyethylene is non-toxic, tasteless, odorless milky white particles with a density of 0.918~0.935g/cm3.
If you’re looking to kickstart a new project in Linear Low-Density Polyethylene injection molding, partnering with a reliable and top-tier collaborator is indispensable.
It is also resistant to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, making it widely used in industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, sanitation, and everyday household products.
Additionally, it exhibits superior resistance to environmental stress cracking, impressive impact strength, and tear resistance.

Linear low-density polyethylene (abbreviated LLDPE), usually produced by the copolymerization of ethylene and advanced a-olefins such as butene, hexene or octene at much lower temperatures and pressures.
Giflor reached a significant milestone in its journey towards sustainability: we obtained the prestigious ISO 14001 certification for our environmental management system, a recognition that testifies our tangible commitment to the environment and our determination to lead the industry towards increasingly sustainable practices. What ISO 14001 Certification means for Giflor:…
Its application in pipe linings and wire and cable coatings is smaller, but here LLDPE’s high burst strength and resistance to environmental stress cracking fulfill the necessary requirements.
Yet it is not only the consumer driving this change in outlook, as sustainable packaging is essential for all those companies that want to operate ethically and responsibly. As a result of this commitment, in recent years Giflor has added the patented Eco Low Profile line for bottles and tubes to its range of injection-moulded plastic caps, thus pioneering a new trend. These products have been designed and developed to minimise environmental impact, both during the production process and in the final product and related supply chain.
Injection molding, the general use of temperature 200 ℃ – 260 ℃, taking into account its apparent viscosity, poor fluidity, a separate LLDPE is difficult to injection molding.
In modern industrial production and daily life, many plastic products’ processing and production cannot do without LLDPE plastics. The following advantages are reasons why LLDPE plastic injection molding has been successful across various sectors.
In melt extension, LLDPE typically has a lower viscosity at various strain rates, meaning it won’t strain-harden like LDPE during stretching.
Furthermore, LLDPE’s high resistance to environmental stress cracking qualifies it for injection molding caps that come into contact with oily foods, rotomolded waste containers, fuel tanks, and chemical storage tanks.
All the Eco Low Profile solutions are made with a Flip-Top opening and Snap-On coupling, with a glossy or matt finish. The injection moulding of plastic caps included in this range requires a maximum of four weeks from customer order.
According to recent research, in fact, around 70% of consumers are willing to spend a little more to buy an environmentally-friendly product, in terms of both the contents and the container. From food to healthcare and cosmetics, an environmentally-friendly package improves the perception of the product (and of the brand), making it more appealing in the eyes of the buyer.

Linear LLDPE has a high melt viscosity, low flow length ratio, lower flowability than LDPE and HDPE, and thin-walled products may lack glue, therefore, the gate and runner are relatively large.
Injection molding is the primary application market for LLDPE. Due to the high strength of the LLDPE molding , it’s feasible to use high-flow resins, which enhances production efficiency and realizes the thin-walling of LLDPE products, thus making it widely applicable across various domains.
To ensure that the LLDPE material fully fills the mold and to reduce the generation of defects, the injection pressure is usually set at 50-160 MPa.
Secondly, LLDPE plastic exhibits outstanding extensibility and significant yield strength, making it easy to mold with superior physical and mechanical properties.
Lastly, LLDPE plastic can withstand low temperatures, so it’s not prone to becoming brittle, ensuring safety in use and maintaining consistent performance.
If you’re eager to delve deeper into this process, please continue reading. FOWMOULD will introduce you to the properties and applications of LLDPE, as well as how it is transformed into various products through injection molding technology.
Whether it’s PE injection molding, LDPEinjection molding, HDPE modling, or LLDPE injection molding, FOWMOULD will promptly provide you with expert Design for Manufacture (DFM) feedback and offer complimentary quotation services and technical guidance.
Nowadays, purchasing decisions are increasingly influenced by the packaging and the values/messages they are able to convey.
In order to obtain high quality LLDPE plastic products, it is essential to strictly follow the injection molding conditions. The following are important conditions in the LLDPE injection molding process:
Because of its short melt stress relaxation time,injection molded LLDPE have minimal residual stresses, resulting in reduced shrinkage and warpage.
The LLDPE copolymerization process produces LLDPE polymers with a narrower molecular weight distribution than typical LDPE, and a linear structure that gives them different rheological properties.
