Overview

LDPE(Low Density Polyethylene) is the plastic used mainly to make film for trash bags, food packaging, shrink films, and construction/agricultural films.

LDPE was first found by British ICI research team by accident and was commercially available in 1939. Initially, it was used for wire insulation for military purpose such as radar cable insulation. In the U.S.A., it was manufactured by Dupon in 1942 and by UCC in 1943.
Characteristics
  • Superb transparency and processability. These products are suitable for special agricultural applications such as long-life and anti-fogging films due to their excellent miscibility characteristic with various master batches.
  • Outstanding processability and superb blending characteristic with additives. Molecular weight, melt index, and density of these products are specifically designed to satisfy the demanding requirements of foaming processes.
    chemical resistance.
  • Superior transparency, processability and rigidity, which make this grade suitable for multi-layer containers.
