General information about LDPE – GP

Low-Density Polyethylene – GP or LDPE – GP is one of the most widely used types of polyethylene, which is used in various fields. In general, different types of polyethylenes have almost similar physical and chemical properties, but a slight change in production conditions has caused different grades of this product to be offered to the market. As the name suggests, LDPE – GP has a low molecular weight. This product has a branched chain that these chains cannot connect well and regularly. This issue has caused the intermolecular strength and consequently the tensile force between the molecules of this product to decrease to a great extent. This issue has made the products made from this product to be very flexible. In addition, this product can be decomposed by microorganisms.

Usage of LDPE – GP

Due to its unique features, just like other polymers, LDPE – GP is also used in various industries. In the packaging industry, this product can be used to produce different types of storage bottles for pharmaceutical and medical devices, garbage bags, food packaging, etc. The use of this product in these fields is very cost-effective. The low cost for the production and processing of this type of polyethylene, as well as the unique features of this product, have made Low-Density Polyethylene – GP the greatest option for the production of various types of packaging. In the pipe and fitting industry, Low-Density Polyethylene – GP is a very suitable option for the production of pipe and sewer fittings due to its resistance to air erosion and also due to its high flexibility.

Technical data sheet & chemical Formula

The chemical formula of LDPE – GP is (C₂H₄)_n. The good resistance of this product against different types of chemicals has made Low-Density Polyethylene – GP a good option for storing these types of products. It is precisely for this reason that containers for packaging acids, bases, and alcohols are usually made of polyethylene. In addition, this product is very affordable and cheap, which makes its use in various fields very low cost. LDPE – GP is very resistant to impact and environmental and weather factors such as humidity and air erosion.  Low-Density Polyethylene – GP is also a very good insulator against electricity.

How is packing of LDPE – GP?

Almost 90 percent of polyethylenes are produced in granular form.  LDPE – GP is no exception to this rule. The granular form of this material helps consumers to use this product more accurately and conveniently in various fields. You can get Low-Density Polyethylene – GP in granular form in various and different multi-kilogram packages and use them. Usually, many manufacturers sell this product in 25 kg bags. Of course, this does not mean that you cannot get this product in larger volumes. If you need a large amount of this product, you can receive the desired product in any amount you want.

Safety & warning & transportation

LDPE – GP is usually stable and does not require nearly as much protection. But to maintain the purity of the product and also to take care of it, you should consider certain conditions for storing and transporting the product. For example, the place of storage of this product should be a place free from pollution and relatively cool. In addition, long-term exposure to sunlight can overshadow the chemical properties of this product. So if you want to protect the purchased product well, consider special conditions for storing it.
