LDPE & LLDPE

Low density and linear low density polyethylene, supplied to a declared melt flow index and density.

LDPE and LLDPE — what actually differs

LDPELLDPE
StructureLong-chain branchingShort-chain branching, linear backbone
ProcessingEasier bubble stability, lower motor loadHigher melt viscosity, needs more power
Film propertiesBetter clarity and glossHigher puncture and tear strength
Common practiceBlended — LLDPE for strength, LDPE for processability and optics

Grade families
