Why Tuf-R LLDPE?
Tuf-R bags utilize linear low-density polyethylene, which offers molecular advantages over conventional LDPE. The linear polymer chains provide increased tensile strength and puncture resistance, allowing you to often use a lighter gauge Tuf-R bag in place of a heavier LDPE bag. This translates to cost savings and reduced material usage without sacrificing protection.
