HDPE vs. LDPE: Similarity and differences
1. Manufacturing Process Both HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) and LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) are produced from ethylene through a polymerization process, but they differ in their polymerization methods: HDPE: Produced using low-pressure polymerization (Ziegler-Natta or metallocene catalysts), resulting in a linear structure with minimal branching. LDPE: Produced using high-pressure polymerization (free-radical polymerization), leading to a highly branched […]
