Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is one of the three main types of polyethylene, being a
copolymer of ethylene and alpha-olefins. It finds use in films (mostly for the trash bag market),
injection molded products, pipe and tubing, among other applications.
The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific LLDPE
production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an
industrial plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. General
information included in our reports is presented below.

2. About our Methodology
Intratec has distilled the expertise gained from more than a decade supporting companies worldwide to devise consistent
methodologies, which ensures the development of holistic, coherent and consistent reports.
Intratec's highly experienced engineers start the development of process economics reports with in-depth, comprehensive research on
the technology examined, encompassing patents and available technical literature, non-confidential information provided by
technology licensors and Intratec's in-house database.
This exhaustive research provides a clear and consistent understanding of the process technology studied, including chemical,
biological and/or physical transformations occurring in the target process, as well as reactants required and products formation. That
knowledge is compiled into a detailed process block flow scheme and a mapping of key process input & output figures (including raw
materials consumption).
Finally, in the assessment of the economic figures of the process technology under analysis, Intratec’s team relies on an extensive in-
house database and robust cost models. Our cost models were founded on a number of established cost-estimating methods, based
on mathematical and statistical processing of an extensive volume of actual cost data of well-known industrial processes.
