LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a polymer, thermoplastic received in the result of the processing of monomer ethylene at high pressure. It is also called high-pressure polyethylene. By its nature, it is an elastic and soft material with unique structure, which is polymerizing in a radical way under the pressure from 1000 to 3000 atmospheres and at a temperature of 180 degrees. As it was noted, low-density polyethylene is sufficiently a soft material, which by the way is distinguishing by the perfect dialectical properties. Thus, it allows using the material in different manufacturing processes.
Low-density polyethylene possesses exclusive properties and valuable features. It’s about such peculiarities as:
- invulnerability to moisture impact
- resistance to direct sunlight
- high tearing and impact resistance
- translucency and good elasticity
- resistance to chemically aggressive substances
- significant chemical resistance
- сrack growth resistance
Low-density polyethylene is widely used in wrapping film production, as well as in the manufacturing of containers and plastic bags. Today it is the most widely used packaging material in the world. One of its significant advantages is the inability to release toxic substances into the environment. It is safe for humans and the ambient medium, and it is extremely convenient for processing.
Scope of use and difference from other polymers
By production and application volume, low-density polyethylene takes a leading place throughout the world. The first time it was used in the electrical engineering industry as a major isolating material for underwater cables. Afterward, LDPE had been widely applied in radars manufacturing. It was also used as a reliable isolation.
Concerning other areas of low-density polyethylene application, it remains indispensable in such scopes as:
- cable production
- plastic items manufacturing
- making a film
- thermal glue production (in the form of powder)
Unlike the other polymers, low-density polyethylene is more versatile. Depending on the producing method, it possesses a definite number of valuable properties. In comparison with the option of high-density LDPE is more shock-resistant, it possesses good stretching features, the granules of the low-density polyethylene much better tolerate the ultraviolet radiation, and have a more beautiful glossy surface.
Additional processing of low-density polyethylene allows getting materials of a whole new level with improved chemical and physical properties. For example, existing modifications of low-density polyethylene with improved adhesion to paints and other materials (for example, to metal) and with reduced flammability. At the moment, are being distinguished the following types of polyethylene of high pressure:
- foamed
- cross-linked
- copolymers of low-density polyethylene with other monomers or with polyethylene of another grade
