LLDPE has shorter and more branches its' chains are able slide against each other upon elongation without becoming entangled like LPDE which has long branching chains that would get caught on each other. This gives LLDPE higher tensile strength and higher impact and puncture resistance than the LDPE

They can be made from several different things: Butene Copolymer Copolymer - HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) Ethylene Vinyl Acetate HDPE - Reclaim LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) -Hexene Copolymer Homopolymer - HDPE Homopolymer - LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) Homopolymer - PP (Polypropylene) PP-IM (Impact) LDPE-Reclaim LLDPE-OC (Octene Copolymer) LDPE Copolymer For more information go to http://www.townsendpolymer.com


Is polyethylene a smart polymer?

YES! it is cheap, easily processed, chemically inert, flexible, low melting point, used in a variety of forms (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE).


What is difference between LDPE and HDPE?

You don't specify anything to compare it to. If you mean the difference between LDPE and HDPE, then LDPE has branched chains which pack together loosely, making a softer material. HDPE is firmer because it has unbranched chains which pack together tightly.


How do you reduce the tearibility of the LDPE and HDPE?

Usually with a 'rubberizing' additive that contains LLDPE (Linear low density polyethylene) More branches and better bonding, less amorphous. Greater tensile and impact strength than LDPE or HDPE.

What type of plastic is plastic bags?

Most of plastic bags are made of Polyethylene. It could be made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) or a combination of both in addition to Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE).


What is the difference between LDPE and PVC?

the difference is that in pvc h-c is replaced with c-cl. c-cl is less oxidisible by air while h-cl is oxidisable hence flamable while cl-c doesn't


What is melting point of ldpe?

The melting point of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) typically ranges from around 105°C to 115°C. This can vary slightly depending on the specific grade and additives used in the LDPE material.


What is Melting Temperature of LLDPE?

The melting temperature of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) typically ranges from 110 to 130 degrees Celsius. This temperature can vary depending on the specific grade and composition of the LLDPE material.
