Which of the following statements is not true about low-density polyethylene?
1. Tough
2. Hard
3. Poor conductor of electricity
4. Branched structure
Hint: LDPE is characterized by 50-65% crystallinity, as the packing of the molecules is not the tightest.
LDPE (low density polyethylene) is a soft, flexible, lightweight plastic material.
LDPE is noted for its low temperature flexibility, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
note --Low-density polythene has a slightly branched but not highly branched structure. Low density polythene is chemically inert and tough but flexible and a poor conductor of electricity.
