The effect of the addition of a pressed castor oil cake, a biodiesel co-product, on the mechanical properties of a grade of LDPE used in the packaging industry was recently evaluated. It was verified that the addition of this filler to the LDPE matrix improves the flexural properties of this polymer.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a LDPE Plastic Material suitable for the molding processes for thermoplastic mold processing and good mold making capabilities.
Advantages of Low Density Polyethylene:
– Flexible, with a low tensile strength
– Essentially, this means that LDPE can withstand a lot of stretching before it actually breaks, which makes it fantastically useful for applications like ldpe plastic bags, bin bags and other plastic films.
