What is Poly?

Density 0.93

Low density polyethylene or LDPE is the largest volume commodity thermoplastic and cheapest packaging film which is used for a wide variety of applications.

It is easy to process, and can be blended with other polymers and/or additives, like EVA, HDPE, LLDPE, fillers, pigments to alter its basic properties.

PE film is soft, very flexible, clear and glossy and has good tear resistance and good moisture barier but only fair gas barrier properties. Some major disadvantages and limitations of LDPE are poor weathering resistance, difficult to bond and poor temperature capability.
