What LDPE is
LDPE (low-density polyethylene) has branched chains, which make the film flexible, clear and easy to process. It is the base for blown films, packaging and blends with LLDPE.
Applications
What LDPE is used for
Packaging
Bags and flexible packaging.
Blends
Blended with LLDPE to balance strength and processability.
Factory-additivated
Slip and antiblock already included.
LyondellBasell (formerly BASF)

FAQ
What is the price of LDPE?
Pricing is available on request, in BRL per kilo, and follows the dollar rate (PTAX, Brazil's official dollar rate) on the day of the order. The proposal is issued in writing, with product, quantity, delivery time and validity.
Does Lupolen 2426H come with additives?
Yes. It leaves the plant with slip (erucamide, 500 ppm) and antiblock (natural silica, 1.000 ppm).
What is the difference between LDPE and LLDPE?
LDPE has branched chains and produces films with good clarity and easy processing. LLDPE has linear chains and produces films with higher impact and tear resistance. Many plants blend the two. See the resins: LLDPE.
Does Esfera sell LDPE pellets?
Yes, the resin is supplied as pellets, ready for the extruder.
