Properties of light polyethylene:
- Melting point around 105 to 115 degrees Celsius
- Density 0.91 to 0.94 grams per cubic centimeter
- Good resistance to alcohols, alkalis and dilute acids
Limited resistance to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, mineral oils, oxidizing agents and halogenated hydrocarbons.
- Temperature resistance up to 80°C continuously and 95°C for a short time
- Low cost and affordable with good processing capability
- High resistance to air erosion
- Very good electric current insulation properties
- Very low water absorption and humidity
- High cracking ability against vibration
Low resistance, low hardness and low temperature capacity, which makes it impossible to use it to produce products that require high temperature in their process.
- High gas permeability, especially carbon dioxide gas
- Low resistance to ultraviolet radiation
- Very high flammability
Light polyethylene has many applications in various industries and production of various products due to its advantages and characteristics. This material is mostly used in container production industries, material transportation and distribution tankers, detergent and hygiene bottles, some agricultural irrigation equipment, plastic packaging for computer parts and various laboratory equipment. The most popular application of low density polyethylene is in the plastic bag manufacturing industry.
