Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a type of plastic known for its flexibility, toughness, and chemical resistance. It’s made by melting and stretching ethylene gas molecules under high pressure, creating a less tightly packed structure with many "loops" and "branches." This results in a soft, flexible material that’s commonly used for plastic bags, squeeze bottles, food wraps, and films. LDPE is durable, easy to process, and resistant to moisture and chemicals, making it a versatile choice for packaging and protective applications.
