High-density polyethylene finds application in many branches of industry and production. It is a thermoplastic derived from petroleum. The desire to save on costs encourages companies involved in the production of polymer products to use recycled polyethylene instead of primary.
LDPE is produced in the form of granules. Their structure is a set of branched molecules that are connected into a crystal lattice. The low density of the material is due to weak intermolecular bonds. The melting temperature is from +103 to +115 °C, softening — about +80-90 °C. High density polyethylene is characterized by flexibility and plasticity, which make the product pleasant to the touch.
Main LDPE qualities:
High density polyethylene is an environmentally friendly product. It is absolutely non-toxic to the human body and the environment.
