Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Natural Round Rod Description
Polyethylene, or polythene, is the most commonly produced plastic. It is a polymer primarily used for packaging materials such as plastic bags, films, geomembranes, and containers, including bottles. As of 2017, over 100 million tons of polyethylene resins were produced annually, accounting for 34% of the total plastics market.
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a versatile, soft, flexible, and lightweight plastic material that is easy to fabricate and form. LDPE is known for its low temperature flexibility, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It is ideal for applications where flexibility and durability are more important than stiffness or structural strength. LDPE also has excellent chemical and impact resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of uses.
