Low Density Polyethylene.

LDPE - A variety of specific grades for different transformation techniques

Description

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) resins are used for a large number of high performance and general purpose applications. There are a great variety of specific grades for different transformation techniques.

Extrusion: for the production of blown film sheets with a wide range of thicknesses, for the manufacture of blown hollow bodies, cables and coatings for other materials, such as paper and cardboard.

Injection: Injection moulding along with extrusion ranks as one of the prime processes for producing plastics articles.

Rotomoulding: Rotational moulding, also known as rotomoulding, is a plastics moulding technology which is ideal for making hollow articles.
