What Does LDPE Stand For?

LDPE stands for Low Density Polyethylene

LDPE, or Low Density Polyethylene, is a thermoplastic polymer widely used in packaging, film production, and various consumer goods due to its flexibility, lightweight nature, and chemical resistance. Recognized for its low density, LDPE is characterized by a high degree of branching in its molecular structure, which contributes to its softness and ductility. It is commonly found in applications such as plastic bags, containers, and cushioning materials, making it a versatile choice in both industrial and domestic settings.
