LDPE
Low Density Polyethylene
LDPE
PE
LDPE (a.k.a. Low Density Polyethylene) the first thermoplastic polyolefin used commercially, is one of the three main types of polyethylene. LDPE differs from high density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) primarily due to its unique molecular structure, where large amounts of long-chain branching, impart different rheological behavior in both shear and extension. LDPE offers an unparalleled combination of low cost, ease of fabrication and balance of physical properties (toughness, flexibility and transparency). The first thermoplastic polyolefin used commercially, LDPE is still widely used in a wide range of applications.

Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining LDPE production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q1 2022).

LDPE Production from Ethylene (High-Pressure Tubular Process)

This report presents the economics of a typical Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) production process from polymer grade (PG) ethylene in the United States, using a high-pressure tubular polymerization process.

Details: 400 kta United States-based plant   |   Q1 2022   |   106 pages   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in the report LDPE E11A target a 400 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

LDPE Production from Ethylene (High-Pressure Autoclave Process)

This report analyses the economics of a typical Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) production process from polymer grade (PG) ethylene in the United States. The process examined in this report is a high-pressure autoclave process.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q1 2022   |   106 pages   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in the report LDPE E12A target a 150 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
