  2. Linear low-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_low-density...

    Linear low-density polyethylene differs structurally from conventional low-density polyethylene (LDPE) because of the absence of long chain branching. The linearity of LLDPE results from the different manufacturing processes of LLDPE and LDPE. In general, LLDPE is produced at lower temperatures and pressures by copolymerization of ethylene and ...

  3. Low-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-density_polyethylene

    LDPE has SPI resin ID code 4 Schematic of LDPE branching structure. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene.It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1]

  4. Polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene

    The plastic type which releases gases at the highest rate is low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Due to its low density it breaks down more easily over time, leading to higher surface areas. When incubated in air, LDPE emits gases at rates ~2 times and ~76 times higher in comparison to incubation in water for methane and ethylene, respectively.

  5. Stretch wrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_wrap

    The most common stretch wrap material is linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), which is produced by copolymerization of ethylene with alpha-olefins, the most common of which are butene, hexene and octene.

  6. Shrink wrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrink_wrap

    PVC has been banned in many countries, due to the harmful products created by its decomposition. PVC has some negative qualities including, it is not good for bundling, leaves carbon deposits, and has a low shrink force. [citation needed] Polyolefin or POF shrink wrap is a premium shrink wrap, as it is extremely durable and versatile.

  7. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

    A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.

  8. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

    Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is flexible and is used in the manufacture of squeeze bottles, milk jug caps, retail store bags and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) as stretch wrap in transporting and handling boxes of durable goods, and as the common household food covering.

  9. Process flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_flow_diagram

    A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.
