LDPE

Low-density polyethylene is soft, flexible, and lightweight but is fit for applications where stiffness, heat resistance, and impact strength are not required. As such, LDPE remains widely used for plastic bags, bottles, and tubes.

Applications of LDPE

 Packaging Materials
 Agriculture
 Consumer Goods
 Construction

Key Factors of LDPE

 Density: Lower density (0.910 to 0.940 g/cm³)
 Structure: Highly branched, resulting in a less dense and more flexible material
 Flexibility: Highly flexible, making it ideal for applications that require bendable materials
 Transparency: Naturally translucent, allowing for some visibility through the material
 Moisture Resistance: Excellent resistance to moisture
 Chemical Resistance: Resistant to acids, alcohols, bases, and esters
 Durability: Despite being lightweight, LDPE is quite durable and can withstand impacts without cracking or breaking
