Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic polymer made from the monomer ethylene. It is polyethylene with a density of 0.910 to 0.940 g/cm3. It is a flexible, robust, and lightweight material that is resistant to moisture and chemicals.
It has a waxy, velvety surface and ranges in transparency from transparent to opaque. It comes in several shades, including natural, white, and black. LDPE melts at temperatures ranging from 105 to 115 °C, depending on the degree of branching in the polymer chain.
