SASOL LDPE & LLDPE Grade Name Change and New Packaging Implementation Why the change: Sasol is changing the grade nomenclature of both LDPE and LLDPE polymer products to ensure uniformity of grade names covering its global production plants. The new nomenclature takes into account the current differentiation of Sasol products, nomenclature trends by major global producers, product description and ease of reference. There will be no change in product specifications as this is only a change in grade names. A phased implementation is anticipated from 1 April 2017 for the new branded packaging.
