Redco™ HDPE is defined by a density of greater or equal to 0.941 g/cc. Redco™ HDPE has a low degree of branching and thus stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength. Redco™ HDPE used in products and packaging such as milk jugs, detergent bottles, margarine tubs, and garbage containers.
Redco™ LDPE is defined by a density range of 0.910 – 0.940 g/cc. This results in a lower tensile strength and increased ductility. Redco™ LDPE is used for both rigid containers and plastic film applications such as plastic bags and film wrap.
Redco™ Polyethylenes are classified into several different categories based mostly on its density and branching.
V A R I E T I E S A V A I L A B L E :
- UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight PE)
- HMWPE (high molecular weight polyethylene)
- HDPE (high density PE)
- HDXLPE (high density cross-linked PE)
- PEX (cross-linked PE)
- MDPE (medium density PE)
- LDPE (low density PE)
- LLDPE (linear low density PE)
- VLDPE (very low density PE)
