Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a synthetic resin using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization of ethylene and is therefore also called “high-pressure polyethylene”. Since its molecular chain has many long and short branches, LDPE is less
crystalline than high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and its density is lower. It features light, flexible, good freezing resistance and impact resistance. LDPE is chemically stable. It has good resistance to acids (except strongly oxidizing acids), alkali, salt, excellent electrical insulation properties. Its vapor penetration rate is low. LDPE has high fluidity and good processability. It is suitable for being used in all types of thermoplastic processing processes, such as injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, rotomolding, coating, foaming, thermoforming, hot-jet welding and thermal welding.
Low DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (LDPE), commonly known as high-pressure POLYETHYLENE, is mainly used in plastic bags and agricultural film due to its LOW DENSITY and the softest material.
Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is a copolymer of ethylene and a small amount of advanced olefin in the presence of catalyst.LLDPE is similar to LDPE in appearance, with poor transparency and good surface gloss. LLDPE has the advantages of low temperature toughness, high modulus, bending resistance and stress cracking resistance, and good impact strength at low temperature.
High density polyethylene (HDPE) for non-toxic, tasteless, no smelly white particles, melting point is about 130 ° C, relative density of 0.941 ~ 0.960. It has good heat resistance and cold resistance, chemical stability, but also has high rigidity and toughness, good mechanical strength. Dielectric properties, environmental stress cracking resistance sex also is good.
