LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) is a highly flexible and durable type of plastic. Thanks to these features, it is used in many industries. LDPE is a type of polyethylene derived from fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas.
LDPE can be produced in such a way that it does not crack even when compressed, thanks to its high flexibility. Due to this feature, it is especially used in the food packaging industry. LDPE is often preferred in the production of packaging materials such as refrigerator bags, bread bags, fruit and vegetable bags, transparent film and stretch film.
In addition, LDPE is also used in the construction industry, thanks to its waterproof and flexibility properties. Many construction materials such as waterproofing materials, pipe coatings, door and window profiles, exterior coatings are produced from LDPE.
Another usage area of LDPE is the raw material used in the production of diapers. The absorbent material inside the diapers is usually made from LDPE. Breathable compound products are also one of the areas where LDPE is used. These products are used in products such as baby diapers, hygienic pads and surgical drapes, where the polymer material is made of breathable material.
In short, LDPE is a durable and flexible type of plastic with a wide range of uses. It is used in many industries such as food packaging, building materials, diapers, breathable composite products.
