Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic , usually a polymer obtained by polymerization using monomer ethylene as a monomer and using oxygen or an organic peroxide as an initiator at a high pressure of 98. 0 to 294 MPa.
The density range of LDPE is defined as 0.917-0.930 g/cm3. It does not react at room temperature except by strong oxidizing agents and some solvents. Can be subject to continuous 80 ° C and 90 ° C (194 ° F) temperature for a short period of time. In translucent or opaque variations, it is quite flexible and tough
LDPE is resistant to impact (doesn’t break easily), moisture (water proof), and chemicals (can stand up to many hazardous materials)
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) is suitable for various molding processes in thermoplastic molding. The molding processability is good.
