Raw Materials Required And Availability
Low Density Polythene (LDPE) and Linear Low Density Polythene (LLDPE) Materials
The primary raw materials for manufacturing polyethylene film are petroleum-based resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, alongside emerging bio-based alternatives like cellophane and other cellulosic materials.Various grades of polyethylene resins are available in the market, including High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE). Each resin type is chosen based on its unique properties, enabling diverse applications across industries.
Raw material costs, especially resin prices, constitute the most significant component of the total production cost for plastic manufacturers, compounders, recyclers, and processors. Continuous monitoring of resin market prices is crucial for maintaining cost efficiency and competitiveness. Fortunately, India has abundant sources of raw materials to support plastic manufacturing. Major suppliers such as ONGC, Reliance Industries, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), and GAIL India provide consistent and reliable access to these essential resins,ensuring steady availability for manufacturers like Raj Polypack Limited.
