What is Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)? What are the Features of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)?
Low density Polyethylene (LDPE) has high flexibility. It has low resistance to high heat and can be easily processed. They can withstand up to 85-95°C during use. It is milky white in color but can be produced as desired. Developed with various additives, LDPE can be made resistant to acids and bases, high in electrical insulation and resistant to environmental conditions.
Products made of LDPE are odorless, tasteless, durable and flexible products that feel like wax when touched.
Low Density Polyethylene products are very sensitive to oxygen. Therefore, they should not be left outdoors. Manufacturers add additional preservatives to LDPE to reduce this disadvantage.
Usage Areas of Low Density Polyethylene;
In soluble plastic bags due to its sensitivity to oxygen
In construction and agricultural covers
in garbage bags
In wrapping products such as stretch
in food packaging
Low density polyethylene materials are preferred.
