Low Density Polyethylene. LDPE

Description

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) resins are used for a large number of high performance and general purpose applications. There are a great variety of specific grades for different transformation techniques.

Extrusion: for the production of blown film sheets with a wide range of thicknesses, for the manufacture of blown hollow bodies, cables and coatings for other materials, such as paper and cardboard.

Injection: for moulding compact parts.

Rotomoulding: for moulding hollow parts.
