Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Polymers

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Polymers

Celanese Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) can be used for many applications including automotive, flexible packaging, compounding, and medical applications. We offer our LDPE with a broad range of melt indices from fractional melt indices to 400 g / 10 min. including USP class VI certified grades.

Overview

Product overview

Low-density polyethylene is produced through the polymerization of ethylene in a high-pressure process.

What Is Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)?LDPE is made through the polymerization of ethylene through a high-pressure process. Similar in flexibility to plasticized PVC grades at ambient temperatures, LDPE have greater flexibility and toughness at low temperatures. To learn more about the benefits of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and its applications, contact a Celanese representative today .

Why LDPE?LDPE contains no plasticizers and can be used in place of plasticized PVC where plasticizer migration is a problem.
