Polyethylene
Types of Polyethylene
Polyethylene can be classified into several different types based on the density of the plastic and the degree of branching in its structure. The type of branching and the extent of branching has a direct impact on the mechanical properties of the plastic. Some important types of polyethylene are listed below.
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
- Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
- Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)
Uses of Polyethylene
LDPE Low-density polyethylene is widely used in the production of squeeze bottles, garbage bags, laminations, and food packaging due to its high flexibility and low cost.
LDPE is also used in pipes and fittings. It is ideal for such applications due to its low water absorption and also due to its plasticity.
Polyethylene is also used for cable jacketing since it is a good insulator of electric current.
HDPE High-density polyethylene is used in toys, garbage containers, ice trays, and other houseware. The versatility of this plastic makes it ideal for a wide spectrum of applications.
HDPE is also used in ropes, fishing nets, agricultural nets, and industrial fabrics. It is not uncommon for this plastic to be used in wirings and cables as well.
