What is LDPE used for?

LDPE is used for various applications, including coating and lamination of materials like paper, aluminum, and polymer films. It is also employed in extrusion coating, shrink hoods, industrial sacks, heavy-duty carrier bags, and liners.

Which is better, HDPE or LDPE?

HDPE is considered a better option when the application requires strength and durability, while LDPE excels when flexibility and lightweight are required. As its name tells, HDPE has a higher density which makes it more rigid and resistant to impact, whereas LDPE is more pliable and suitable for packaging. The choice depends on specific project needs.

Yes, LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) is recyclable, but it is not commonly accepted in curbside recycling programs due to processing challenges. Many municipalities do not recycle LDPE products, leading to significant amounts ending up in landfills, despite their potential for recycling into new products.

Is LDPE plastic safe for food contact?

Yes, LDPE is considered safe for food contact. Virgin LDPE resins are approved by the FDA for food applications such as packaging and utensils, as they do not leach harmful chemicals. While, materials made from 100% recycled LDPE are not cleared for food contact.

What is the difference between LDPE Blow and LDPE Lamination?

LDPE blow molding involves forming hollow plastic products by inflating a molten tube of LDPE, suitable for items like bottles and containers. In contrast, LDPE lamination uses LDPE films to bond layers of materials, enhancing strength and moisture resistance, commonly used in packaging and protective films.
