Marlex® Polyethylene Resins for Extrusion Coating & Lamination

Plastic food containers with fruit

Chevron Phillips Chemical has been supplying extrusion coating grade resins for over 40 years, and we are currently ranked as the number one supplier to the North American industry based on volume. Our polyethylene resins deliver proven manufacturing consistency and dependable performance across extrusion coating and lamination applications. With decades of application‑specific resin design, we engineer each grade to help converters optimize processability, line stability, adhesion and end‑use functionality, ensuring reliable, high‑quality results across every production line. 

Extrusion coating applies a uniform layer of molten polyethylene onto substrates such as paper, paperboard, foil and film to deliver enhanced barrier performance, sealability and protection. Lamination combines these materials into durable, multi‑layer structures that enable optimized performance for flexible packaging, food and beverage cartons, and a wide range of industrial laminates.
