LDPE is an abbreviation for low-density polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer derived from the monomer ethylene. It is polyethylene with a density ranging from 0.910 to 0.940 g/cm3. It is a moisture and chemical-resistant material that is flexible, strong, and lightweight.
It has a waxy, velvety surface and is translucent to opaque. It is available in a variety of colours, including natural, white, and black. The melting point of LDPE ranges from 105 to 115 °C, depending on the degree of branching in the polymer chain.

It is a very malleable material that can be moulded and sculpted into a variety of shapes. It has a modest tensile strength yet is extremely resistant to impact and puncture.
The United States, Russia, China, and South Korea are the leading LDPE-producing countries across the globe.
