Low Density Polyethylene By Reflex India

We are among the prominent names in the industry, engaged in exporting, manufacturing and supplying of Low Density Polyethylene in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a substantially linear polymer(polyethylene) with significant numbers of short branches, commonly made by copolymerization of ethylene with longer-chain olefins. Linear low-density polyethylene differs structurally from conventional low-density polyethylene because of the absence of long chain branching. The linearity of LDPE results from the different manufacturing processes of LDPE and LLDPE. In general, LDPE is produced, at lower temperatures and pressures, by copolymerization of ethylene and such higher alpha olefins as butene, hexene, or octene. The copolymerization process produces an LDPE polymer that has a narrower molecular weight distribution than conventional LLDPE and in combination with the linear structure, significantly different rheological properties. LDPE is the parent grade of LLDP.
