Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene. Its manufacture employs the same method today.
LDPE is a soft, flexible, lightweight plastic material. LDPE is noted for its low temperature flexibility, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It is not suited for applications where stiffness, high temperature resistance and structural strength are required. Despite competition from more modern polymers, LDPE continues to be an important plastic grade.
